| pubmed-article:533044 | pubmed:abstractText | Authors have studied in four groups of newborns the possible relationship between administration of oxitocyn to the mother during labor or during the pregnancy and appearance of neonatal jaundice, alterations of hematocrit and Na+ levels in the immediate hours post-partum. In the present study, with dosages of oxitocyn administered during true labor which never exceded 1,200 mUI, no significant differences appeared between levels of bilirubin present in newborns and those whose mothers did not receive this type of treatment (p greater than 0.05). Sodium levels in the first day of life did show significant difference when comparing control and problem series respectively (p less than 0.01). | lld:pubmed |
