Is base deficit estimation in umbilical cord blood influenced by gestational age , choice of fetal fluid compartment , and algorithm for calculation?
The calculated values of the base deficit in umbilical cord arterial blood are influenced decisively by gestational age, the choice of fetal fluid compartment, and the calculation algorithms that are used. The power of the base deficit to indicate neonatal distress depends on the choices of fluid compartment and the algorithm that is used to calculate the base deficit.
Acute RNH leads to renal vasoconstriction and increased renal HIF-1α. Increasing HIF-1α by CoCl2 preconditioning ameliorates intrarenal phenol-induced RNH and renal vasoconstriction.
