Abstract
Meconium aspiration syndrome (MAS) is one of the most feared complications in a full-term (especially transmitted) newborn. About 8-20% of newborns are born with meconium-colored ("turbid") amniotic fluid.
Although meconium aspiration syndrome develops in only 2-6% of them, it is associated with severe morbidity and mortality (approximately 5-37%). Although the incidence and mortality of LAGs have decreased significantly in the last decade thanks to the use of modern obstetric and neonatological procedures, the authors open an interesting and still discussed topic in perinatological circles.
