correlation of umbilical arterial cord ph and short term neonatal outcomes

Abstract

Determine the short term outcome after birth in the neonates newlineborn with normal and abnormal umbilical cord arterial blood newlinepH levels. newlinePRIMARY OBJECTIVE: newline To find an association between umbilical cord blood pH and its newlineoutcome in neonates. newlineSECONDARY OBJECTIVE: newline To find association between low umbilical cord blood pH with newlineneed for resuscitation, need for NICU admission, delay in newlineattaining full feeds, convulsions or encephalopathy newline
