  • Title: Diagnosis of meconium aspiration by spectrophotometric analysis of urine.
    Author: Dehan M, Francoual J, Londenbaum A.
    Journal: Arch Dis Child; 1978 Jan; 53(1):74-6. PubMed ID: 626523.
    Abstract:
    The first urine passed by a newborn infant who has inhaled meconium or meconium-stained amniotic fluid often contains a dark-coloured water-soluble substance, recognisable spectrophotometrically by an absorption band at about 405 nm. Spectrophotometric analysis of the first urine can in this way be used to diagnose preceding meconium aspiration.
