    "abstract": "The study was undertaken to evaluate maternal, perinatal outcomes following transcervical intrapartum amnioinfusion in women with meconium-stained amniotic fluid.\nA prospective comparative study was conducted on 100 women with meconium-stained amniotic fluid in labor. Group A: study group (50 cases) received amnioinfusion. Group B: control group (50 cases) did not receive amnioinfusion. FHR monitoring was done using cardiotocography.\nSignificant relief from variable decelerations was seen in 68.18\u00a0% cases in the amnioinfusion group as compared to 7.1\u00a0% cases in the control group. 78\u00a0% cases who were given amnioinfusion had vaginal delivery as compared to 18\u00a0% cases in the control group. Fourteen percent cases in the study group had cesarean delivery as compared to 68\u00a0% cases in the control group. Meconium aspiration syndrome was seen in six percent neonates in the study group as compared to 20\u00a0% in the control group. Two neonates died in the control group due to meconium aspiration syndrome. There was no maternal mortality or major maternal complication.\nIntrapartum transcervical amnioinfusion is valuable in patients with meconium-stained amniotic fluid.",
