| Main Objective: The primary objective is to compare the efficacy of two treatment regimens: bronchoalveolar lavage with diluted surfactant and bronchoalveolar lavage with diluted surfactant plus single-dose and early dexamethasone versus conventional treatment, in full-term infants (FTI) with meconium aspiration syndrome (MAS), in the context of a controlled randomized study. The primary objective will be reduction of the oxygenation index by more than 30% twenty-four hours after lavage. ;Secondary Objective: The secondary objectives will comprise reduction in mortality, pneumothorax, duration of invasive ventilation, duration of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment, oxygen therapy and days of hospitalization.;Primary end point(s): Primary endpoint · Improvement in OI = 30% twenty-four hours after lavage Secondary endpoints · Hours of invasive ventilation · Hours of CPAP · Mortality · Pneumothorax · Hours of oxygen therapy · Days of hospital stay · Hours of HFOV · Hours of iNO Safety endpoints · Changes in Sat O2 during lavage · Changes in mean blood pressure during and after lavage · Changes in pH, PCO2 and EB after lavage · Pneumothorax and lung hemorrhage after lavage · Control of corticoid side effects: digestive bleeding, hyperglycemia, increased blood pressure | — |
