  • Title: Nucleated Red Blood Cell Counts of Neonates Born Emergently 1-4 h after a Maternal Cardiac Arrest.
    Author: Bahr TM, Henry E, O'Brien EA, Christensen RD.
    Journal: Neonatology; 2022; 119(2):255-259. PubMed ID: 35045419.
    Abstract:
    A high nucleated red blood cell (NRBC) count in a newborn infant at birth is sometimes used to imply that fetal hypoxia occurred. However, it is debated whether many hours are required between fetal hypoxia and the appearance of high NRBC or alternatively, whether this can occur very quickly, with fetal hypoxia within minutes to a few hours before birth. We sought relevant information from four unfortunate cases, where during a previously healthy pregnancy, the mother had a sudden cardiac arrest, with cardiopulmonary resuscitation begun at the incident scene and continued through emergent cesarean section delivery.
