Subject: [ozmidwifery] cord blood gases
Hi all,
Just wondering how common it is for cord blood gases to be done in
maternity units. I work in a small metro. hospital with a very busy
maternity unit and our medical 'powers that be' are pushing for them
to be done at every birth. Something we, the midwives, are very,
very reluctant to do.
I was also wondering if anyone knows of any research that may help us
to prevent this from becoming a routine thing.
Thanks
Naomi.
