Abstract

Objective: This study was undertaken to measure infant outcomes when pH at birth was compared with neonatal pH determined within 2 hours of age. Study Design: We retrospectively studied term infants born between January 1, 1988, and August 31, 1998, who had umbilical artery blood pH measured at birth and again from the radial artery or umbilical artery within 2 hours after birth. Statistical significance was determined with the χ2 test. Odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals were calculated by means of the Mantel-Haenszel method. Results: Data from a total of 1691 infants were analyzed: 178 (11%) had acidemia at birth (pH of

Abstract

Umbilical cord blood acid-base analysis may be used to assess the condition of fetus and newborn more objectively. Newborn acid-base status is an important criterion when we attempt to define perinatal asphyxia. It also has medicolegal ramifications because it enables the documentation of the presence of a biochemical milieu that is not related to the later development of cerebral palsy. We anticipate future research will focus on the redefinition of acidemia and its relationship to fetal and new-born outcomes.
