The utility of #amnioticfluid pH and #electrolytes for prediction of #neonatalrespiratorydisorders

Abstract

BACKGROUND:

Amniotic fluid (AF) is a complex structure with a changing content by #gestation. Lower #genomicexpression of Na channels in airways was shown to be associated with #respiratorydistresssyndrome (RDS). The aim of this study was to determine the possible role of amniotic fluid pH and electrolytes for prediction of #neonatalrespiratorymorbidities.
