Objective: To obtain the profile of intervention effects on meconium aspiration syndrome (MAS) by mechanical ventilation (MV), the process of  MV were analyzed.

Methods: Factors affecting the outcomes of 81 severe MAS cases from 9 children¡¯s hospital were retrospectively analyzed with SAS and non-parametric rand sum test and chi-square test were applied.

Results: The results showed that 32 died in 81 (39%). The gestational age, Apgar score at 1 minute, pneumotharax and FiO2, PIP, MAP showed some relations with outcomes. 48 hours¡¯ PH, 72 hours¡¯ PaCO2, PaO2 and SpO2 after 12 hours were significant for prodicting the clinical outcomes.

Conclusion: The higher mortality of severe MAS intervented by MV suggests that the effects of conventional MV for MAS must be re-evaluated.
