title: Meconium stained liquor: a view from a district hospital.
abstract: Meconium stained liquor (MSL) is a common problem in obstetrics, but its management at district level causes some specific questions. Recent literature was reviewed to obtain an insight in the current knowledge about the significance, the related pathology and the possible strategies to prevent adverse fetal outcome. The acquired data were used to propose some recommendations to tackle this problem at district level.
