Abstract:
Objective To explore the effect of umbilical artery blood pH on the diagnosis of neonatal asphyxia and the evaluation of its prognosis. Methods Blood samples were obtained from 108 normal newborns and 51 asphyxial newborns,who were randomly chosen among newborns delivered in our hospital from november 2007 to may 2008. Umbilical artery blood gas was measured and compared with apgur rating. Results With the degression of umbilical blood pH, the incidence rate of neonatal asphyxia increased and the normal apgar rating decreased(P < 0.01), which suggesting that there was tight relevant between umbilical blood pH and neonatal asphyxia. Conclusion Compared with apgur rating, umbilical artery blood pH could reflect the asphyxia degree of newborns more objectively andsensitively and it might play a guiding role in the prognosis of neonatal asphyxia.
