Cord blood pHFrom: Steve & Eryl Raymond (eryl@intekom.co.za)Fri May 21 13:57:01 2004
We have been donated an Astrup machine which has fifty tests per cartridge. These cartridges expire quickly and up till now we have been using only about ten percent of the available tests. To make better use of the cartridges we want to get cord blood pH done on babies from caesars for fetal distress, but the paediatricians are saying that it must be done on the umbilical artery blood. What is the general experience of those who are doing these regularly regarding where the sample should be taken from, what pH level range is normal and is there a significant difference whether taken from artery or vein? Anybody care to give us the benefit of their experience? Steve Raymond

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
