DIAGNOSIS
MECONIUM STAINED
AMNIOTIC FLUID WITH
MECONIUM ASPIRATION
SYNDROME
PHARMACEUTICAL CARE PLAN
Subjective Evidence:-
Yellowish colour of skin and nails, respiratory disstress,
tachypnea, positive bilatéral air entry.
Objective Evidence:-
Chest X-ray, Stethoscope, Blood gas test.
Assessment:-
Based on subjective and objective evidences the diagnosis was made as Meconium stained amniotic fluid with meconium aspiration syndrome.
GOALS TO BE ACHIEVED
• To reduce respiratory dystress.• To increase oxygen supply to new born.• To reduce the intestinal infection caused by
meconium.• To reduce the meconium levels in the boby.
TREATMENT OPTIONS
1. Antibiotics:- Ampicilline , gentamicine
2. Warmth care by• Mother • Radiant warmer• Ventilator
3. Oxygen therapy by• Masks• hoods
4. Amnio infusion
5. Extra corporeal membrane
MECONIUM STAINED AMNIOTIC FLUID (MSAF)
• Greenish or yellowish appearence of the amniotic fluid. Infants skin, umblical cord , nail beds may be stained green if the meconium was passed a considerable amount of time before birth. Inhaled in the fluid by gasping in utero or after birth.
MECONIUM ASPIRATION SYNDROME (MAS)
• Meconium is dark –green faecal material that was produced in the intestine of a foetus before birth. After delivery new born expels meconium stools for the first few days of life. Stress baby experiences before or during birth may cause expulsion of meconium into the amniotic fluid.
• If méconium is present in the amniotic fluid, this is known as meconium aspiration syndrome.
Patchy asymmetric airspace disease that is typical of MAS

INVESTIGATIONS
• Blood gas analysis:-Low blood PH ,increased CO2 and decreased O2.
• Chest X-ray:-Patchy infiltrates, coarse streaking of both lungs and flattening of the diaphragm.
• CRT:- <2sec • Stethoscope:- Abnormal lung sounds are heard. • Cry:- Good General condition:-Alert• Single , terminal• Normal vaginal delivery• Accurate gestation age
GOALS ACHIEVED
• Respiratory disstress was decreased by day-3.• Complete meconium was removed from the
body by day-2.• Intestinal infections are reduced.• Oxygen is sufficient supplying to the baby.• Rooting and sucking is good by day-3.
MONITORING PARAMETERS
• Blood gas test is to confirm lung function by calculating O2 intake.
• Chest X-ray is for to see patchy or streaked areas on the lungs.
• Listen to the grunt sounds regularly from time to time
PATIENT COUNSELLING
• About disease:-
Mother should take care of the new born.Mother warm care is important. Oxygen supply should be increased for new borns.
About drugs:-• IVF-Dextrose:-
As the patient is not on feeding. So nutrients required for the body is supplied by this dextrose .
• Ampiclox:-Ampicillin+Cloxacillin As meconium is injected by the baby.It is
very infectious as it contains fecal material.So to decrease those infections this antibiotic is
used twice a day.
