To study the perinatal and maternal outcome in patients with meconium stained liquor in first stage of labour.
This retrospective study was carried out on 180 antenatal females reporting for delivery between 36–40 weeks gestation with single live fetus in cephalic presentation & results were recorded.
In our study, 56.66% of the babies among the meconium liquor (study) group were admitted in NICU against 28.88% in the clear liquor (control) group. 2.22% of the babies in the study group developed HIE as compared to none in the control group. 16.66% of the babies developed septicemia in the study group as compared to 4.44% in the control group.
