Abstract
To find out the influence of nuchal cord on neonatal acid-base balance we obtained 117 umbilical artery blood samples from full-term newborns immediately after cord clamping. In 29 cases umbilical cord entanglement was observed while delivery. For each case we matched control case with basic obstetrical factors comparable. In those two groups no significant difference between mean values of acid-base balance parameters was found.
