Where's the Cord Gas? Variation in Umbilical Cord Blood Gas Sampling in High-Risk Deliveries

Listen to this summary

The authors aimed to assess the prevalence and outcomes of umbilical cord blood gas (UCBG) sampling in high-risk deliveries at a level IV perinatal center, in light of the absence of standardized guidelines. Their findings revealed that while UCBG sampling was attempted in 63% of high-risk deliveries, inconsistencies in sampling practices were prevalent, underscoring the need for standardized protocols to improve screening for hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy.
