| Popis: | NEONATAL SEPTICEMIA should be considered in newborn infants with respiratory distress? In small premature infants with respiratory distress, blood cultures from a peripheral vein are often technically difficult to obtain. Although these infants frequently requir e umbilical artery catheterization in the first hours of life for blood gas analysis, the reliability of blood cultures obtained from the umbilical artery catheter has not been documented. We wish to report our experience with neonates on whom paired umbilical artery blood and peripheral blood cultures were obtained during the first nine hours of life. |
