MeSH Heading: Meconium Aspiration Syndrome
Tree Number(s): C08.381.520.687; C08.618.580; C12.050.703.277.785; C16.300.580; C16.614.580
Unique ID: D008471
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D008471
Scope Note: A condition caused by inhalation of MECONIUM into the LUNG of FETUS or NEWBORN, usually due to vigorous respiratory movements during difficult PARTURITION or respiratory system abnormalities. Meconium aspirate may block small airways leading to difficulties in PULMONARY GAS EXCHANGE and ASPIRATION PNEUMONIA.
Entry Term(s): Aspiration, Meconium; Meconium Aspiration; Meconium Inhalation
