  Meconium aspiration syndrome - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Meconium is the first stool of an infant, composed of materials ingested during the time the infant spends in the uterus: intestinal epithelial cells, lanugo, mucus, aminotic fluid, bile, and water.
When meconium staining of the amniotic fluid is present and the baby is born depressed, a pediatrician will often use a laryngoscope and attempt to suction meconium from below the vocal cords.
In this procedure, a tube is inserted into the uterus through the vagina, and sterile fluid is pumped in to dilute thick meconium.

 Meconium - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Meconium (sometimes erroneously spelled merconium) is the first stool of an infant, composed of materials ingested during the time the infant spends in the uterus: intestinal epithelial cells, lanugo, mucus, amniotic fluid, bile, and water.
Meconium is sterile, unlike later feces, and has no odor.
Meconium is normally stored in the infant's intestines until after birth, but sometimes it is expelled into the amniotic fluid prior to birth or during labor and delivery.

 Mothering: The induction and augmentation of labor   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
The practitioner, using an amnihook, pierces a hole in the chorioamniotic membrane to permit leakage of aminotic fluid.
This method enables the practitioner to examine amniotic fluid for blood or meconium; to set in place an intrauterine pressure catheter to measure uterine contractions, or insert a direct fetal monitor cathode to obtain fetal scalp blood samples; and to attempt to shorten the length of first-stage labor.
Whereas this surgical procedure is reportedly successful in accomplishing most of its goals, the benefits of a shortened labor are questionable."5]
