ABSTRACT

PURPOSE:

To investigate the significance of umbilical artery acidosis and compare perinatal outcomes according to the types of acidosis for a tertiary hospital population delivered at term.

METHODS:

We reviewed maternal and neonatal medical records of all term liveborn infants with an umbilical artery pH or =20 mEq/L) and high pCO2 (> or =20 mmHg) were significantly associated with low pH value, the perinatal outcomes were not significantly different according to the level of base deficit or pCO2.

CONCLUSION:

The mixed acidemia was more associated with pathologic fetal acidemia than pure respiratory or metabolic acidosis. The ability to predict not only metabolic but also respiratory component of fetal acidemia may help in safe management of delivery leading to reduce the fetal acidemia.
