...Paal Helge Haakonsen Lindenskov; Albert Castellheim; Ola Didrik Saugstad; Tom Eirik Mollnes Does meconium cause meconium aspiration syndrome (MAS) or is meconium discharge only a marker of fetal hypoxia? This dispute has lasted for centuries, but since the 1960s, detrimental effects of meconium...

Conclusion: This study indicates that CHF5633 is as efficient as poractant alfa in experimental meconium aspiration syndrome. 29 04 2013 28 09 2013 14 12 2013 The pigs were randomized into two groups (n = 13...

... for meconium aspiration syndrome (MAS). Studies in animal models of MAS have affirmed that dilute surfactant lavage can remove meconium from the lung, with resultant improvement in lung function. In human infants both non-randomised studies and two randomised controlled trials have demonstrated a potential...

Objectives: The purpose of this pilot study was to assess the effect of short-term mechanical ventilation with heliox in newborns with MAS on vital signs, oxygenation, acid-base balance and respiratory function parameters. Methods...

... trials studied preterm babies with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) and 2 were for meconium aspiration syndrome (MAS) in term infants. The median sample sizes of these studies were RDS (92, range 19–1,361) and MAS (42, range 22–61). Eighteen of the RDS trials compared two or more surfactant...

... extracorporeal membrane oxygenation yielded different results. In severe meconium aspiration syndrome surfactant synthesis was found to be decreased but surfactant pool size was maintained. It is possible and safe to study surfactant metabolism in human neonates with the use of stable isotopes. This can help...

...Hung-Chih Lin; Bai-Horng Su; Chang-Hai Tsai; Tsung-Wen Lin; Tsu-Fuh Yeh There are limited data on the efficacy of antibiotics in the management for meconium aspiration syndrome (MAS).

...Barbara C.C. Lam Meconium aspiration syndrome (MAS) continues to be a major cause of morbidity and mortality in newborn infants. Recent studies on the pathophysiology of MAS showed that the meconium is more potent and toxic than we had previously appreciated. On the basis of animal experiences...
