Although the pathophysiology of meconium obstruction of prematurity (MOP) is not clear, it is known that the decrease of the intestinal peristalsis due to decreased intestinal perfusion during antenatal or perinatal period. Recently, the level of citrulline has been used as an index of function and injury of the small intestine State. This study aimed to evaluate citrulline level of cord blood as a marker for early detection and observe changes in intestinal blood flow in MOP patient. And We aimed to confirm the efficacy of the AT/ET ratio (ratio of the pulmonary artery time-to-peak velocity interval to the right ventricular ejection time) of the prenatal pulmonary artery as a noninvasive predictor of neonatal respiratory distress syndrome.
