Prospective study conducted on 1536 consequetive live births.

The present study shows that by –good intrapartum monitoring, Timely interventions, by immediate oropharyngeal suctioning of all babies and Selective approach of endotracheal intubation can reduce complications of MSAF to a great extent.
