Association between Acid-Base Balance and Asphyxia in Newborn Infants

Lung function and acid-base balance in the newborn infant.

relationship between newborn acid-base status and umbilical cord morphology

ess the relationship between umbilical cord blood gases at birth and morphology of umbilical cord, in a prospective study of 200 consecutive term delivery, we investigated the relationship between umbilical cord morphology characteristics (umbilical crd length, number of vascular coil, coiling index) and color of amniotic fluid and umbilical vessel blood gases. statistically significant linear ...

Association between serum interleukin-1β levels and perinatal asphyxia

Objective: Asphyxia  is  a  major  cause  of  acute  mortality  and  chronic  neurologic  disability  in  neonates. We sought to  define  the  predictive  values  of  serum  concentrations  of  interleukin-1β  in  newborns  with perinatal asphyxia to see if there is a relation between interleukin-1β (IL-1β) levels to the short term neurological deficit.  Methods: This was a prospective (case-co...

Medical Acid-base Balance

an increase in the number of poisonings occurring in the province or from an increase in the number of enquiries with no change in the number of poisonings. (ii) there was an increase in 1976 in the number of prescriptions dispensed and therefore an increase in the number of drugs consumed. (iii) the increase in enquiries about poisoning in children, if it reflects an increase in actual poisoni...

Acid base balance and anesthesia.

The acidosis that occurs during clinical anaesthesia was formerly thought to be metabolic in origin because of inefficient carbohydrate breakdown in the unconscious state (Van Slyke, Austin, and Cullen, 1922). More recent authors (Taylor and Roos, 1950; Beecher and Murphy, 1950) have suggested that the acidosis is respiratory, due to defective ventilation, and the present work was undertaken to...
