Background: Meconium stained amniotic fluid (MSAF) is frequently observed in term and post-term pregnancies and it is divided into grades according to meconium consistency. The study aimed to analyse association ofperinatal outcomeand grade of meconium.
Method:This was an observational descriptive study.250 women in labour were selected for study. After complete examination, labour was monitored. If meconium was passed,the grade was noted and included in meconiumgroup.Obstetric management was done as per protocol. Perinatal outcome was noted.Data collected was analysed and conclusions drawn.
Result: 20% were MSAF women out of which 14% had grade 1, 24% grade 2 and 62% had grade 3. 74.2% of women with Grade 3 had caesarean deliveries. 91.7% neonates of mothers with Grade 3 MSAF had meconium aspiration syndrome.
Conclusion: Close monitoring of women with MSAF is important. Grade 3 MSAF has very important role in making decision regarding mode of delivery to improve perinatal outcome.
