Phenylephrine is effective for the management of spinal anesthesia-induced hypotension in
parturients undergoing cesarean delivery under spinal anesthesia. While ephedrine was …

During the past decade, umbilical cord blood gas analysis has increasingly been
recognized as the most reliable indication of fetal oxygenation and acid-base condition at …

OBJECTIVE: This study was undertaken to determine the relationship of umbilical cord pH
and base excess (BE) values to adverse neonatal outcomes for a large tertiary hospital …

Background The Apgar score is universally used for fetal assessment at the time of birth,
whereas, the collection of fetal cord blood gases is performed commonly in high-risk …

IGFBP-1 is elevated in fetuses with long-term, chronic hypoxia and intrauterine growth
restriction. We investigated the hypothesis that hypoxia regulates IGFBP-1 in the human …

Introduction Despite much literature on reference values of acid‐base status in umbilical
cord blood at birth, there are as yet no studies performed to determine gestational age …

OBJECTIVE: To assess the utility of umbilical cord venous blood gas measures for
prediction of umbilical artery pH and base deficit acidemia. METHODS: A retrospective …

OBJECTIVE: To compare the effect of delayed cord clamping on cord blood gas values in
vaginally delivered, healthy, term singletons. DATA SOURCE: We used MEDLINE, CINAHL …

OBJECTIVE: To estimate whether the acid-base status of neonates born to women with
meconium-stained amniotic fluid varies across gestation. METHODS: We carried out a …

Background: Current evidence suggests that umbilical arterial pH analysis provides the most
sensitive reflection of birth asphyxia. However, there's debate whether umbilical cord blood …
