Abstract
Magnesium and ionized calcium in mixed umbilical cord blood was assess ed colorimetrically in 38 distressed and 21 healthy term newborn infan ts. Distressed infants with a severe or moderate degree of hypoxic-isc hemic encephalopathy (HIE) (n = 8) had significantly lower (p < 0.001) concentrations of magnesium (0.52 +/- 0.08 mmol/L) compared to the co ntrol group (0.69 +/- 0.06 mmol/L), No differences in concentrations o f ionized calcium between distressed and control infants were detected .
