Abstract
The effect of "maximal" or "minimal" placental transfusions upon urinary excretion of Na, K, Cl and urea, as well as hematocrit, skin temperatures, systolic blood pressure, changes in leg volume, and crying vital capacity is studied in normal newborn infants. Newborn infants receiving a "minimal" placental transfusion took significantly more milk from the breast than those receiving a "maximal" amount of blood from the placenta.Keywords
