Sentences with phrase «develop meconium aspiration syndrome»

While many children suffer meconium aspiration at birth with few long - term effects, some will develop meconium aspiration syndrome (MAS) as a result of breathing in the waste products they excreted in the womb.

If the meconium is thick and a baby is distressed at birth, however, suction (and possibly amnioinfusion) is recommended to reduce the chance that the baby will breathe in the meconium and develop meconium aspiration syndrome.
