Background: Meconium drawing is a life-threatening disorder. It is distinguished by significant respiratory difficulties. Lactate is a fast-paced variable, strongly related to difficulties and mortality in nearly every severely sick child. Our aim in this study was to anticipate difficulties with the drawing of meconium by lactate measurement. Methods: This is randomised control work, occurring in 40 babies with meconium stained liquid. From February 2020 until November 2020, they were allowed to attend Benha University Hospital. Results: The need for resuscitation of babies with meconium contaminated liquor was 60 percent. Administration of surfactants was 16 percent. Stay in the hospital, vary from (4-45) days. Diabetic mother's maternal history was 20% and hypertension maternity was 12%. Infant issues report that 20% air leak syndrome, 16% air leak syndrome, 52% hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy and 64% required for breathing assistance. Air leak syndrome Conclusion: Lactate measurement may be utilised to prevent issues such air leak syndrome, ischemic encephalopathy and breathing assistance in babies receiving meconium-treated liquor.

Sepsis is a common and serious neonatal problem with high morbidity and mortality particularly in resource limited communities. Broad examination endeavors have yielded numerous biomarkers which are conceivably helpful, for conclusion of sepsis as well as for forecast of its result. to examine the analytic job of RDW in 50 of full term children with sepsis and to assess its job in clinical result of neonatal sepsis. This investigation was completed on 100 youngsters conceded in neonatal emergency unit of Benha University Hospital and Benha Teaching Hospital during the period from (December 2018 to February 2020). Moral Research Committee Approval and composed assents were acquired from guardians of the youngsters 50 neonatal sepsis cases and 50 typical controls. Consideration standards: age from 1-28 days and had discoveries of sepsis either clinical or lab. Youngsters were exposed to: History taking, clinical assessment for signs of sepsis. Complete blood tally, C-receptive protein, Blood culture and affectability and assurance of RDW % were done to all children. Mean RDW % was higher among cases than controls (16.7 ±1.6 and 12.9 ±1.4respectively) (P < 0.001), then hemoglobin (HB) was lower in cases than controls P=0.542. WBCs were higher among cases contrasted with control (P
