The article focuses on the use of umbilical cord blood gases in litigation cases of hypoxic-ischemic brain injury, highlighting potential challenges and complexities in interpreting these values. Topics include understanding the differences between arterial and venous blood gases, predicting arterial gas values from venous samples, factors affecting blood gas values, such as delay in sample analysis or heparin contamination, and the impact of delayed cord clamping on blood gas values.
