Abstract
Die radioenzymatisch bestimmten Plasma-Noradrenalin-Konzentrationen des Nabelvenenblutes, entnommen bei der Geburt von 19 normalvitalen, 17 akut asphyxierten und 9 chronisch hypoxie-gefährdeten Neugeborenen waren stets größer als die zugehörigen mütterlichen Werte. Es ergab sich eine signifikante Abhängigkeit vom Ausmaß der Beeinträchtigung und eine positive Korrelation mit der Wasserstoffionen-Konzentration. Radioenzymatically measured plasma noradrenaline concentrations, present at birth in umbilical veins of 19 healthy, 17 acutely asphyxiated, and 9 chronically distressed newborn infants were found to be elevated above maternal values proportional to the degree of distress and to plasma H ion concentrations.Keywords
