Abstract:
Our purpose was to present parameters of acid-base status at 30, 90 and 150 minutes after delivery in cases of hypotrophic infants. Significantly lowered values of pH, HCO3 and BE were found as compared to results of normal term infants. Parameters are consistent with metabolic acidosis. Such conditions require appropriate treatment.
