OBJECTIVE:
To provide clinician direction that is based on the best evidence available on suctioning at the perineum for infants born with meconium stained amniotic fluid.
EVIDENCE:

VALUES:
The recommendation was made according to guidelines developed by the Canadian Task Force on Preventive Health Care.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that institutions adopt a policy indicating that non-suctioning is as safe as routine suctioning at the perineum for infants born with meconium-stained amniotic fluid. (IA).
