What Role Does Amnioinfusion Play in Meconium-Stained Amniotic Fluid?
Meconium-stained amniotic fluid can lead to meconium aspiration syndrome (MAS), a serious respiratory condition in newborns. Amnioinfusion helps to dilute the meconium, thereby reducing the risk that the fetus will aspirate thick meconium during delivery. This intervention can significantly lower the incidence of MAS and associated complications.
