Umbilical cord Blood Gases analysis دکتر پروانه صادقی مقدم دانشگاه علوم پزشکی قم

Intrapartum acid base status of the fetus is an important component in establishing the link between intrapartum events and neonatal condition

Umbilical cord blood gas levels are believed to be the best representation of the fetal acid base status immediately before birth compared to fetal heart rate tracing or fetal scalp PH

INDICATIONS FOR U.VESSELES BLOOD GAS ANALYSIS Instrumental or abdominal delivery for suspected fetal compromise All nonelective cesareans A low 5 minute APGAR score An abnormal fetal heart rate tracing Intrauterine growth restriction Intrapartum fever Multiple pregnancy

Recommendation of ACOG for umbilical cord blood gas sampling ●Double clamp an umbilical cord segment immediately after birth ● Obtain a blood sample with a syringe flushed with heparin. ●A paired sampling of the artery and vein may prevent a dispute over the accuracy of arterial sampling. ● If the neonate appears vigorous, then the clamped cord segment can be discarded. ●The cord segment is appropriate for sampling anytime within 60 minutes from birth ● Blood is appropriate for analysis anytime within 60 minutes from sampling

Cord blood samples Normal values Artery Vein pH 7.05-7.38 7.17-7.48 pCO2 kPa 4.9 – 10.7 3.5 – 7.9 BD ecf m.mol/l -2.5 -10.0 -1.0 – 9.0 pH should be at least 0.03 units less in artery pCO2 should be at least 1.0 kPa higher in the artery

What is pathological acidosis Acidosis is well tolerated by the fetus without sequela until it becomes very severe Serious adverse sequela in the newborn period are rare with umbilical cord PH greater than 7 or BE less acidotic than -12 Infants with cord PH above 7 have no adverse effect of acidosis on cognitive function

damaging acidosis PH less than 7 BASE EXESS more than : -12 ( -16 ) PH is not an ideal parameter for estimating the cumulative exposure to hypoxia because it does not give a linear measure of acid accumulation Base excess is better and has more linear relation with degree of hypoxia In mixed acidosis we can estimate PH before acute insult

Once severe acidosis is present, the likelihood of adverse sequelae rises sharply with worsening acidosis. Goodwin et al found that hypoxicischaemic encephalopathy occurred in 12% of infants with cord pH <7.0, 33% with cord pH <6.9, 60% with cord pH <6.8, and 80% with cord pH <6.7

Mixed acidosis ( metabolic and respiratory) Acute interruption of oxygen supply = Intrapartum asphyxia ↓ CO2 retention and respiratory acidosis Mixed acidosis ( metabolic and respiratory) Pure metabolic acidosis

Isolated fetal respiratory acidosis Short time impairment of uteroplacental or fetoplacental circulation The time of insult is no more than 20 -30 min. Seldom is associated with adverse outcomes

In mixed acidosis we can estimate PH before acute insult For each 10 mmHg increment in PCO2 from normal (neonatal PCO2 at time of birth :50) PH rises 0.08 unit

Other factors which influence cord blood values Prolonged second stage of labor Second twin Uterine hyperstimulation Regional anesthesia :spinal block

Effect of labor Normal second stage of labor changed BE 1mmol/l/hr Prolonged labor with repeated FHR deceleration changed BE 1mmol/l/30min Acute uterine rapture with fetal bradycardia changed BE 1mmol/l/2-3 min

Chorioamnionitis , with or without funisitis does not appear to influence cord blood pH Although placental infection is associated with cerebral palsy in both term and preterm infants, the mechanism appears to be largely independent of hypoxiaischaemia.

Even at pH below 7.0 most infants will still recover fully without remarkable illness In this respect cord pH or base excess alone are poor predictors of outcome. Most infants with evidence of intrapartum asphyxia do not develop serious long-term sequelae

In a series of around 14 000 newborn infants with routine cord blood gas analysis, King et al identified pH ,7.0 in 58 (0.4%) infants who were born at 35 weeks’ gestation or more. they had birth weight .2100 g, 5-mim Apgar score >7 and an absence of cardiopulmonary disturbance, 37 of these 58 infants were triaged after birth to the routine postnatal nursery. They were followed closely and none developed clinical manifestations of hypoxic-ischaemic injury. Two of the infants were admitted to the neonatal unit because of hypoglycaemia. This suggests that infants who are in good clinical condition at birth and are free of cardiopulmonary disturbance do not require neonatal unit admission or detailed investigation purly on the base of cord PH

Restriction of cord blood flow . Both umbilical arterial and venous gases could then be normal despite severe intrapartum asphyxia. Fetal death with normal cord gases could also occur with fetal cardiac arrest.In cases of intrapartum stillbirth and in infants who are in very poor condition at birth and who require considerable resuscitation, normal cord venous and arterial pH do not therefore exclude acute intrapartum asphyxia. A blood gas sample taken from the infant soon after birth would be expected to show marked acidosis if there had been cord obstruction. (reperfusion acidosis)

Restriction of cord blood flow If the obstruction to the umbilical vessels was sudden and complete and this persisted until the moment of delivery or until fetal death then the cord gases sampled at birth would give a snapshot of the fetal acid–base balance prior to the obstruction

Short or long lasting hypoxia High BD in artery and normal BD in vein – short lasting hypoxia E.g Art pH 7.01 Vein pH 7.27 CO2 8.82 5.14 BD 12.8 8.0 High BD in artery and vein – long lasting hypoxia E.g. Art pH 7.01 Vein pH 7.12 CO2 8.82 6.65 BD 12.8 11.5

Whereas cord blood analysis provides a static measurement, longitudinal measurement of acid–base status after birth may be useful in prognosis. Casey et al found that infants in whom acidosis (pH <7.20) persisted 2 h beyond delivery had a poorer outcome than those in whom acidosis had resolved. persisting lactic acidosis is associated with severe encephalopathy and may be a reflection of the presence and severity of seizures.

arterial to venous differences are small where there is impairment of the maternal perfusion of the placenta, such as in cases of abruption In a comparative study between infants born after cord prolapse and those born after placental abruption, Johnson et al observed venoarterial differences in pH of up to 0.3 units, and showed that a difference greater than 0.15 units could be used to differentiate reliably between the two.

CORD BLOOD LACTATE lactate measured in umbilical cord blood samples is almost entirely fetal in origin. Umbilical cord lactate has been shown to correlate with both pH and base excess.

Cord blood lactate combination of high lactate (>4.1 mmol/l) and high lactate/pyruvate ratio (>22) predicted neonatal encephalopathy with a sensitivity of 100% and specificity of 95.4%. The ability to predict longterm outcomes correctly, such as abnormal development and death was below50%.
