Abstract:
Meconium-stained amniotic fluid is one of the main risk factors for neonatal meconium aspiration syndrome, and can even cause death, which is a dangerous emergency to handle during neonatal resuscitation. Routine intubation and endotracheal suction are not recommended for non-vigorous newborns born through meconium-stained amniotic fluid in the latest international neonatal resuscitation guideline. But it is controversial due to lacking high-level evidence. We review the recent evidence for the rationale for endotracheal suction in non-vigorous neonates born through meconium-stained amniotic fluid.
