Can meconium in the amniotic fluid injure the fetal brain?
Meconium in the AF may sometimes initiate vasoconstriction that leads to ischemic, hypoxemic cerebral palsy.
These results show that the oxygen-carrying solution DCLHb is significantly more efficient than the commonly used crystalloid solutions in restoration of tissue PO(2) after ischemia-reperfusion. The use of this solution therefore appears promising as a means of protecting the tissue put at risk by ischemia from reperfusion damage.
