Objective. To determine the incidence of feed intolerance in vigorous babies with meconium stained liquor (MSL) who received prophylactic gastric lavage as compared to those who were not subjected to this procedure.Design. Randomized controlled trial.Setting. Tertiary care teaching hospital.Participants/Intervention. 330 vigorous babies delivered with MSL and satisfying the predefined inclusion criteria were randomized either to receive gastric lavage (group A,n=165) or to not receive gastric lavage (group B,n=153). Clinical monitoring was subsequently performed and recorded in prestructured proforma.Results. There was no significant statistical difference (P>0.05) in incidence of feed intolerance in “lavage” and “no lavage” groups.Secondary Outcome. There was no evidence of secondary respiratory distress in either group. None of the patients in the lavage group exhibited adverse effects owing to the procedure.Conclusions. There is no role of prophylactic gastric lavage in neonates born with MSL.
