Abstrakt: This investigation has been conducted as two separate studies. Part I consisted of the determination of the prothrombin activity in normal newborn infants together with observations on the alterations in this activity which result from the administration of vitamin K to the mother. Part II was concerned with the practical application of the knowledge gained from the first study. It aimed to show the value of intra-partum vitamin K administration in reducing the incidence of hemorrhage in newborn infants.
