Summary

The aspiration of amniotic fluid is a common cause of respiratory distress in term newborns. Aspirated amniotic fluid can either be uncontaminated or contaminated by meconium as a result of hypoxia of the newborn during the delivery. The postnatal adaptation is altered. Shortly after the delivery appears tachypnoea and dyspnoe, low oxygen saturation and cyanosis. The amniotic fluid is repeatedly being sucked from the upper aiways. The X-ray scan of teh chest usually shows thickened lung pattern. In the therapy is used preferentially non-invasive ventilatory support, eventually antibiotics nad application of the surfactant.

The case shows a typical serious aspiration of amniotic fluid stained by meconium.
