Article Synopsis
- - The study examines how factors like gestational age, birth weight, delivery mode, and gender influence the measurement of blood pH and gas analytes (BPGA) in newborns, particularly healthy preterm and term infants.
- - Results indicate that preterm infants have significantly different BPGA levels compared to term infants, influenced by their delivery mode and gender, particularly in terms of carbon dioxide levels and hemoglobin types.
- - The findings suggest that BPGA measurements could be unreliable due to these perinatal characteristics, highlighting the need for further research to establish reliable reference values for different newborn populations.
