Objective To study the feasibility of tracheal intubation for meconium suction immediately after birth of nonvigorous neonates born through meconium-stained amniotic fluid (MSAF). Methods A retrospective cohort study was performed on nonvigorous neonates born through MSAF who were admitted to the Department of Neonatology, Zhecheng People's Hospital. The neonates without meconium suction who were admitted from July 1, 2017 to June 30, 2018 were enrolled as the control group. The neonates who underwent meconium suction from July 1, 2018 to June 30, 2019 were enrolled as the suction group. The two groups were compared in terms of the mortality rate and the incidence rates of neonatal meconium aspiration syndrome (MAS), persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn, pneumothorax, and pulmonary hemorrhage. Results There were 80 neonates in the control group and 71 in the suction group. There were no significant differences between the two groups in the incidence rates of MAS (11% vs 7%), persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (5% vs 4%), pneumothorax (3% vs 1%), and death (0% vs 1%). Compared with the control group, the suction group had a significantly lower proportion of neonates requiring oxygen inhalation (16% vs 33%, P<0.05), noninvasive respiratory support (25% vs 41%, P<0.05) or mechanical ventilation (10% vs 23%, P<0.05) and significantly shorter duration of noninvasive ventilation [(58±24) hours vs (83±41) hours, P<0.05] and length of hospital stay [6(4, 8) days vs 7(5, 10) days, P<0.05]. Conclusions Although tracheal intubation for meconium suction immediately after birth may shorten the duration of respiratory support for mild respiratory problems, it cannot reduce the incidence rate of MAS, mortality rate, or the incidence rate of serious complications in nonvigorous infants born through MSAF.
