Acid-base determinations in normal premature infants in the first two months of life.

چکیده
In a previous report from this unit (Malan, Evans, and Heese, 1965) it was shown that in the first 72 hours of life there are several differences in acid-base status between premature and full-term infants. While term infants approached normal levels for adults, the pattern in premature babies was unstable, with a tendency towards acidosis. Metabolic (nonrespiratory) acidosis has been recorded in premature infants up to the age of 70 days (Reardon, Graham, Wilson, Baumann, Tsao, and Murayama, 1950; Blystad, 1956; Alvarez de los Cobos, JuradoGarcia, Sagaon, and Leon, 1957; Ranl0v and Siggaard Andersen, 1965). The present study reports acid-base determinations in premature infants between the 4th and 60th days of life and is designed to serve as an addendum to the rather scanty publications on this age period.

Evidence is accumulating that premature infants run the risk of developing megaloblastic anaemia or other evidence of folic acid deficiency during the first two to three months of life (Gray and Butler, 1965; Shojania and Gross, 1964; Strelling, Blackledge, Goodall, and Walker, 1966). The present study was carried out to compare the folic acid status of premature infants during the first eight ...
