meconium aspiration syndrome

How Can MAS be Prevented?

Preventive measures include close monitoring of high-risk pregnancies, timely intervention during labor, and minimizing fetal distress. In some cases, amnioinfusion (the introduction of sterile fluid into the amniotic sac) during labor may help dilute the meconium-stained amniotic fluid, reducing the risk of MAS. Nurses play a crucial role in prenatal education and monitoring to help reduce the incidence of this condition.
