Abstract:

The review presents modern approaches to the definition of the concept of «meconial staining of amniotic fluid» in the context of its application in the International Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems, Tenth Revision. A systematic review indicating a strong association between fetal hypoxia due to risk factors and meconial staining of amniotic fluid was conducted. The role of the infectious process is noted. The problems of complications for the mother (postpartum hemorrhage, purulent-septic diseases) and the newborn, including meconium aspiration syndrome, perinatal mortality are discussed. National and foreign tactics of delivery are presented.

Keywords:

meconium
meconial staining of amniotic fluid
meconium aspiration syndrome
perinatal mortality
