Pitfalls in Interpreting Umbilical Cord Blood Gases and Lactate at Birth
Author
Summary, in English
(Δ values) in umbilical cord blood. Validation criteria based on fixed ΔpH and ΔpCO2 values may then exclude correct samples of clinical outliers. Lactate cannot be used for validation of umbilical cord blood samples. A negative ΔpO2 value indicates delayed cord blood sampling or mix-up of samples and is the only certain validation criterion.
