We observed 42 cases of neonates, who were diagnosed as having Meconium aspiration syndrome
in neonatal intensive care unit of Presbyterian Medical Center from July 1984 to May 1987.
The followings were obtained:
1) The incidence of Meconium aspiration syndrome was 0.6% of all deliveries and 7.4% of
meconium stained babies.
2) The geatational age was over 37 weeks in all cases and the body weight was over 2500 gm in 91
% of cases.
3) The more severe the symptoms were, less Apgar score, longer admissional period, more frequent
meconium in trachea, and more severe consolidation, pneumothorax and atelectasis in chest x-ray
were observed. |
