REVIEW FIVE examples of CORD gas pairs, and finally grasp WHAT THEY MEAN!!. We have chosen 5 common scenarios, and we take you slowly through each pair of blood gases so you understand them forever!!! What would you see with a cord compression? What about a placental abruption? What pH do we worry about? What about the base? How can we tell the sample was incorrect? They are so important in neonatology and you'll see why!!

Dr. Tala, I can't thank you enough for all of your videos! I'm a respiratory therapist who is now being freshly trained in the NICU, and your videos have been an absolute life-saver! There's so much I learned from you, and I keep seeing all the scenarios you mention in real life, which makes all that knowledge easy to apply. I really appreciate all that you do for us healthcare workers who don't know much about baby-mom physiology. Thank you so much!

Thanks Dr Tala Excellent simulated scenarios...I wish you could add a. Hidden acidosis b. fetal cardiac arrest examples too to unravel the mystery of Normal gases with extremely sick or moribund baby...

Hello!!! Such great scenarios- I should have included that. Often when the baby has a terrible gas and the cord gases weren't bad, then one of three things is happening: the cord was completely compressed- so no blood was going to or leaving the baby so it in no way predicts what was happening with the baby- OR the gases weren't collected appropriately- the sickness of the baby is unrelated to horrible gases (eg a tracheal web or whatever and baby can't breathe). I should do another series of these!!!! Thank you so much for being here!

Thank you so much Dr Tala for your series on blood gases. It is the first time I learnt about cord blood gases.

Thanks for writing to us! It’s funny- given how important they are I don’t think they’re stressed that much generally- so I hope they help you clinically! Thank you for being here :)

Excellent. A decade ago there was a website that was called something like “The great umbilical cord blood gas challenge” it had a dozen or so questions and it was great with examples like yours. I would revisit it quite frequently and have my RT students take it when we had down time. It was full of great terminology and was quite enlightening. Thank you for this as someone that deals with cord blood gases every shift I definitely took away from this.

Thanks so much for sharing!! Honestly- not a lot of people even requested this video- but we decided to make it because it seems to generate lots of confusion generally (probs because seems quite counterintuitive). Anyway- thanks so much for taking time to write!
