Abstract
Hyponatremia in the newborn infant in association with the administration of salt-free i.v. solutions to the mother is seen. A retrospective study was made of the relation between the cord serum Na levels and the i.v. administration to the mother of 5% dextrose and oxytocin. Of the 203 mothers studied, 106 received i.v. fluid before delivery. The mean Na levels of babies of mothers who had i.v. fluid (133 .+-. 4.2 (SD) mmol/l) was significantly lower than for babies of mothers who had not (138 .+-. 4.3 (SD) mmol/l).This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
