Abstract
STUDY OF ELECTROLYTE LEVELS IN THE CORD BLOOD OF BIRTH ASPHYXIATED NEONATES AND ITS CORRELATION WITH THE SEVERITY OF ASPHYXIA
Dr. Sudeshna Datta*, Dr. Rajeeva Mishra and Dr. Jagrita Malakar
ABSTRACT
Background: Perinatal asphyxia contributes significantly to neonatal morbidity and mortality in developing countries owing to its potential of causing permanent brain damage and even death of the fetus. Though there are more and more studies for understanding the mechanisms leading to birth asphyxia, studies for early determination of tissue damages due to birth asphyxia are still lacking. Objective: An observational hospital-based cross-sectional study for finding any correlation between the levels of cord blood electrolytes (sodium, potassium, calcium) in birth asphyxiated neonates in the Department of Pediatrics and Neonatology, RIMS, Ranchi. Method: In this observational study, cord blood samples of 89 inborn birth asphyxiated term neonates with birth weight 2.5-4 kg, were evaluated over a period of 12 months from June 2019 to May 2020. Inclusion criteria were term, inborn neonates, appropriate for gestational age with birth asphyxia as per WHO definition- “failure to initiate and sustain breathing at birth” and based on apgar score as an apgar score of
