Objective. In light of the paucity of published data on the use of surfactant in full-term infants with respiratory failure due to meconium aspiration syndrome and respiratory distress syndrome, we report our experience with this therapy. Our goal was to explore possible justification for randomized controlled trials of surfactant treatment in similar patients at an earlier, less severe stage of the disease. Methods. Retrospective consecutive case series of 20 infants with severe meconium aspiration syndrome and 29 infants with severe respiratory distress syndrome who received bovine surfactant between March 1990 and December 1992 in three neonatal intensive care units in a regionalized setting. Outcome of treatment was assessed by comparing changes in several respiratory indices including the oxygenation index, between 4 and 6 hours and 1 and 3 hours before and after the first dose of surfactant. Differences were analyzed using analysis of variance for repeated measures, with treatment and time as co-variates. Results. In the meconium aspiration group the mean oxygenation index decreased from 36 ± 12 at 1 to 3 hours presurfactant to 24 ± 14 at 1 to 3 hours postsurfactant (P < .001). In the patients with respiratory distress syndrome the mean oxygenation index fell from 30 ± 17 at 1 to 3 hours presurfactant to 12 ± 6 at 1 to 3 hours postsurfactant (P = .0001). Three of 20 patients with meconium aspiration syndrome and 3 of 29 patients with respiratory distress syndrome received extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. Conclusions. Surfactant therapy in full-term infants with respiratory failure due to the meconium aspiration and respiratory distress syndromes is often effective in improving gas exchange. A randomized controlled trial of surfactant therapy at an earlier stage in the course of the illness should be performed.

Background and Objectives: Meconium aspiration syndrome (MAS) is a condition caused by the aspiration of meconium-stainted amniotic fluid into the lungs, resulting in pulmonary inflammation, neonatal morbidity, and mortality. It is important that these MAS infants receive appropriate care to avoid further complications. Steroids have an anti-inflammatory effect and may be effective in the management of MAS. The objective of the this study was to evaluate the effect of different steroids on clinical outcomes in infants with MAS. Materials and Methods: We systematically searched of PubMed/Medline, Scopus, Embase, Clinical Trials.gov, and Cochrane Library databases from inception to 24 January 2021 without language restriction. Only randomized controlled trials (RCTs) evaluating the effects of steroids in neonates with MAS were included. We calculated relative risks and weighted mean differences (MDs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) using a random-effects model to determine the associations between MAS and steroids and GRADE approach was employed for quality of evidence. The main outcomes measures were duration of respiratory distress, oxygen requirement, hospitalization, need for mechanical ventilation, death, and adverse drug reactions. Results: Seven RCTs involving 397 patients were analyzed. Nebulized budesonide and intravenous (IV) methylprednisolone shortened the duration of respiratory distress (MD, −2.46 days; 95% CI, −3.09 to −1.83 and MD, −3.30 days; 95% CI, −4.07 to −2.52, respectively) (moderate certainty). There was a reduction in duration of oxygen requirement in nebulized budesonide use (MD, −2.40 days; 95% CI, −3.40 to −1.40) (low certainty) and IV methylprednisolone use (MD, −3.30 days; 95% CI, −4.07 to −2.52) (moderate certainty). Nebulized budesonide shortened hospitalization stay (MD, −4.47 days; 95% CI, −8.64 to −0.30 days) (low certainty) as IV methylprednisolone use (MD, −7.23 days; 95% CI, −8.19 to −6.07 days) (moderate certainty). None of steroids benefits in death (low certainty). Conclusions: Certain types of steroids may benefit the respiratory aspect, but there was no decrease in mortality in MAS infants.

ABSTRACT Background: Meconium aspiration syndrome refers to the aspiration of meconium and amniotic fluid by the fetus. It can occur when the fetus is still in the uterus, passing through the birth canal or when it takes its first breath after birth. Meconium aspiration is a serious condition with high morbidity and mortality. This study aimed to examine the effect of meconium stained amniotic fluid on the risk of infants asphyxia. Subjects and Method: Meta analysis and systematic review was conducted by collecting published articles from PubMed, Google Scholar, Clinical Key, Science Direct, and Springer Link databases. Keywords used risk factor, asphyxia, birth asphyxia, meconium stained amniotic, meconium stained liquor, and cross sectional. The inclusion criteria were full text, using English language, using cross-sectional study design, and reporting adjusted odds ratio. The study population was infants. Intervention was meconium stained amniotic liquid with comparison clean amniotic liquid. The study outcome was asphyxia. The collected articles were selected by PRISMA flow chart. The quantitative data were analyzed by fixed effect model using Revman 5.3. Results: 7 studies from Ethiopia reported that meconium stained amniotic fluid increased the risk of asphyxia in infants 5.83 (aOR= 5.83; CI 95%= 4.15 to 8.20; p <0.001). Conclusion: Meconium stained amniotic fluid increases the risk of asphyxia in infants. Keywords: meconium, amniotic fluid, asphyxia, infants Correspondence: Alfiati Nanda Widiyaningrum.

Overview Of Systematic Reviews

Aim: To conduct a systematic overview of systematic reviews (SRs) and randomized clinical trials (RCTs) on surfactant therapy in neonatal meconium aspiration syndrome. Methods: We searched EMBASE, PROQUEST and PubMed to summarize the different effects of surfactant lung lavage and bolus surfactant therapies in neonates with meconium aspiration syndrome. Results: With a total of 1377 patients, three SRs and two RCTs were included in analysis. Surfactant effectiveness was concluded by low-quality SRs, with high risk of bias, which was contradicted by high-quality SRs, with low risk of bias. In SRs, the surfactant lung lavage reduced mortality, need for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation and hospitalization, while the bolus surfactant did not. In recent high-quality RCTs, however, the two modalities did not significantly differ. Conclusion: The evidence on surfactant effectiveness and its method of administration is sparse and inconsistent.
