MECONIUM-STAINED LIQUOR: FEATURES OF PREGNANCY AND LABOR AND PERINATAL OUTCOMES

Abstract

The article presents a retrospective analysis of the course of pregnancy and perinatal outcomes in patients with meconium-stained liquor.Objective: to study the features of the course of pregnancy and perinatal outcomes with meconium-stained liquor.Material and methods. A retrospective analysis of 108 birth histories and prenatal records of women aged 18 to 38 was carried out. The subjects were divided according to the presence of meconium in the amniotic fluid into the main group with meconium amniotic liquor and the control group with light water, respectively. When analyzing the medical records, a large number of anamnestic, clinical, laboratory and instrumental factors were identified that were related to the formation of meconium amniotic fluid.Results and discussion. The study revealed that meconium staining of amniotic fluid can be a marker of intrauterine fetal hypoxia, indicating the increase in the proportion of children with a low Apgar score at birth, who, as a rule, need respiratory support.
