sphincter and a hypoxia-related peristalsis. Meconium-stained amniotic fluid is
an indication for careful fetal surveillance. The nurse should note the
variable decelerations of the newborn and notify the physician whether meconium
is present. This meconium-stained amniotic fluid are often suction before the
first breath to reduce the severity of the condition. Moreover, amnio-infusion
is an effective way in decreasing the variable fetal heart rate decelerations
and fetal mortality. </span>
