What causes meconium aspiration syndrome?
- A. Hypoglycemia
- B. Carbon dioxide retention
- C. Bowel obstruction with meconium
- D. Aspiration of meconium in utero or at birth
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Meconium aspiration syndrome occurs when a newborn inhales (aspirates) a mixture of meconium (the baby's first stool) and amniotic fluid while in the uterus or during delivery. This can lead to respiratory distress and obstruction of the airways. The presence of meconium in the lungs can cause inflammation, airway obstruction, and in severe cases, can result in pneumonia or respiratory failure. Bowel obstruction with meconium (Choice C) does not directly cause meconium aspiration syndrome.
