  Objective: The acid base abnormalities are common in neonates with birth asphyxia and sepsis leading to considerable morbidity and mortality and timely assessment and management of these acid-base derangements leads to a better outcome. So, we did a observational study to assess acid base disorders in neonates by using Boston, Copenhagen approach and Stewart approach and the role of the various variables on predicting the acid base status and the worst outcome in neonates. Study design and methods: An observational study was conducted on the samples provided from the neonates with birth asphyxia and sepsis admitted to neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) in the Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (PGIMER) and Dr Ram Manohar Lohia (Dr RML) Hospital, New Delhi, India. The blood gas analysis, electrolytes, albumin, lactate lev.. View More»
