Meconium-stained amniotic fluid may be aspirated during labor and delivery, causing neonatal respiratory distress. Because meconium is rarely found in the amniotic fluid prior to 34 weeks' gestation, meconium aspiration chiefly affects infants at term and postterm.

3 major constituents of meconium: 1.Intestinal secretions 2.Mucosal cells 3.Solid elements of swallowed amniotic fluid are the 3 major solid constituents of meconium. Water - major liquid constituent, (85-95%)

Placental insufficiency Maternal hypertension Preeclampsia Oligohydramnios Maternal drug abuse (tobacco, cocaine)

Maternal infection/chorioamnionitis Inadequate removal of meconium from the airway prior to the first breath Use of positive pressure ventilation (PPV) prior to clearing the airway of meconium

Fetal hypoxic stress (head or cord compression) ↓ Vagal stimulation ↓ Mature gastrointestinal tract ↓ Peristalsis ↓ Rectal sphincter relaxation ↓ Meconium passage

Meconium + amniotic fluid ↓ 1. perinatal bacterial infection 2. erythema toxicum 3. stained amniotic fluid aspiration

Aspiration induces hypoxia via 3 major pulmonary effects: 1. airway obstruction 2. surfactant dysfunction 3. chemical pneumonitis

1. Airway obstruction Complete obstruction - atelectasis Partial obstruction - ball-valve effect

2. Surfactant dysfunction free fatty acids of the meconium (eg, palmitic, stearic, oleic), have a higher minimal surface tension than surfactant Meconium strip it from the alveolar surface, resulting in diffuse atelectasis

3. Chemical pneumonitis Enzymes, bile salts, and fats in meconium irritate the airways and parenchyma, causing a release of cytokines results in a diffuse pneumonia that may begin within a few hours of aspiration

Meconium in amniotic fluid - required to cause meconium aspiration syndrome (MAS) Green urine - less than 24 hours after birth - meconium pigments absorbed by lungs, excreted in urine

Cyanosis End-expiratory grunting Alar flaring Intercostal retractions Tachypnea Barrel chest in the presence of air trapping Auscultated rales and rhonchi (in some cases)

Yellow-green staining Fingernails Umbilical cord Skin

Acid-base status Metabolic acidosis from perinatal stress Respiratory acidosis from parenchymal disease and persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN).

Serum electrolytes sodium, potassium, and calcium common perinatal stress complications: 1. syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone (SIADH) 2. acute renal failure are frequent of

CBC Count In utero or perinatal blood loss, as well as infection, contributes to postnatal stress Hemoglobin and hematocrit - ensure adequate oxygen-carrying capacity Neutropenia or neutrophilia - may indicate perinatal bacterial infection

Air trapping and hyperexpansion from airway obstruction.

Acute atelectasis

Pneumomedia- stinum from gas trapping and air leak

Left pneumothorax with depressed diaphragm and minimal mediastinal shift because of noncompliant lungs

Diffuse chemical pneumonitis from constituents of meconium

Gross overaeration of the lungs and bilateral nodular infiltrates The nodular infiltrates represent areas of patchy or focal alveolar atelectasis and the overaerated spaces in between, compensatroy, focal alveolar overdistension

Meconium Aspiration ↓ Intubation ↓ Suctioning (Tracheal suctioning)

No clinical trials justify suctioning based on the consistency of meconium. Avoid: Squeezing the chest of the baby Inserting a finger into the mouth of the baby

NOT VIGOROUS (minimal or absent respiratory effort, poor muscle tone, or HR <100 beats/min) ↓ Direct laryngoscopy intubation and tracheal suctioning (Suction for no longer than 5 seconds) ↓ NO MECONIUM IS RETRIEVED DO NOT repeat Intubation and suction MECONIUM IS RETRIEVED, NO BRADYCARDIA Reintubate and suction

VIGOROUS (good respiratory effort, crying, good muscle tone, and HR >100 beats/min) ↓ DO NOT electively intubate. ↓ Clear secretions and meconium from the mouth and nose with a bulb syringe or a large-bore suction catheter

In either case, The remainder of the initial resuscitation steps should ensue and include: drying, stimulating, repositioning, and oxygen administration as necessary

 Maintain an OPTIMAL THERMAL ENVIRONMENT  Minimal handling  SEDATION - to decrease agitation

 Continue RESPIRATORY CARE Oxygen therapy - hood or positive pressure for adequate arterial oxygenation Mechanical ventilation - minimize the mean airway pressure - short inspiratory time - oxygen saturations 90-95%

 SURFACTANT THERAPY  Nitric Oxide - pulmonary vasodilator of choice in PPHN  SYSTEMIC BLOOD VOLUME  BLOOD PRESSURE (Volume expansion, transfusion therapy, and systemic vasopressors) decrease: right-to-left shunt via PDA

1. Chronic lung disease 2. Infections

 Most with complete recovery of pulmonary function  Intrapartum events initiating meconium passage may cause long-term neurologic deficits: CNS damage seizures mental retardation cerebral palsy

Yellow color usually results from accumulation of unconjugated, nonpolar, lipid-soluble bilirubin pigment in the skin May be due in part to deposition of pigment from conjugated bilirubin Elevated levels of indirect, unconjugated bilirubin potentially neurotoxic

1.Increase load of bilirubin to the liver Hemolytic anemia, polycythemia, shortened red cell life, increased enterohepatic circulation, infection 2.Damaged or reduced activity of the transferase enzyme or other related enzymes Genetic deficiency, hypoxia, infection, thyroid deficiency

3.Blocked transferase enzyme 4.Absence or decreased amounts of enzyme or reduced bilirubin uptake by liver cells Genetic defect, prematurity

Jaundice appearing after the 3 rd day and within the 1 st week suggests bacterial sepsis or urinary tract infection Other causes: syphilis, toxoplasmosis, CMV, enterovirus

Regardless of the cause, goal of therapy is to prevent indirect-reacting bilirubin related neurotoxicity Tx: phototherapy and exchange therapy
