FIELD: medicine.
SUBSTANCE: oxyhemoglobin and 2,3-diphosphoglyceratephophotase are evaluated in umbilical blood of newborns by a spectrophotometric method. The coefficient D is calculated by formula D=-1.858·HbO2+(+13.097·2.3DPG). If D is lower than -81.04, low oxygenation of arterial erythrocytes in newborns is predicted.
EFFECT: use of the method allows predicting a degree of oxyhemoglobin saturation of umbilical erythrocytes in newborns.
