“…The minimum level found by us is in agreement with recent reports (7,28). Several investigators (for references, see 5 , 26) have found that total plasma calcium in umbilical cord is higher than in maternal plasma.…”

Summary A simple and rapid method to determine ultra‐filtrable calcium in plasma is described in detail. Total calcium, ultrafiltrable calcium (Cauf), and protein‐bound calcium in plasma are reported for 202 normal children (range 0–16 years of age) divided into 12 age groups, as well as for 93 healthy male blood donors. There was a decrease in plasma calcium and ultrafiltrable calcium after 1–21 hours of life. The minimum value was reached at 24–48 hours of life. An increase was then seen during the first week of life. Later in childhood total calcium and Cauf decreased continuously and significantly with age, and with the most marked rate during the first two‐three years. The ultrafiltrable calcium fraction was found to be responsible for the changes in total plasma calcium. In 24–48 hours of life and 5–7 days of life protein‐bound calcium was significantly lower as well. There were no significant differences between males and females in childhood.

“…

In a previous paper the acid-base and electrolyte balance was studied in infants of diabetic mothers at caesarean section (16). It was found that these infants did not differ significantly in their acid-base and electrolyte balance from healthy infants at birth.After birth, hypocalcaemia and hyperphosphataemia have been observed by several investigators (3, 6, 21), but on the other hand "normal" values of potassium, sodium and chloride have been found (20).

“…The acid-base and electrolyte balance in infants of diabetic mothers (IDM), delivered by caesarean section, has previously been studied at birth and during the first 48 hours after birth (13,15). At birth the acid-base balance of IDM was similar to that of infants of healthy mothers (IHM), but in the early neonatal period the IDM had slightly higher pHvalues and lower levels of Pcoz and plasma potassium than the IHM.…”

The acid-base and electrolyte balance of 30 women studied at delivery and in their infants during the first 48 h. 18 women were diabetics, 10 of these were delivered vaginally (DMvag) and 8 by elective caesarean section (DMcs). 12 healthy women were vaginally delivered (HMvag). The infants of diabetic mothers (IDM) received active infusion therapy. At birth the DMvag and their infants (IDMvag) had a more pronounced metabolic acidosis than the DMcs and their babies (IDMcs). The largest metabolic acidosis occurred, however, in the group of HMvag and their infants (IHMvag). After birth no significant differences were obtained in the acid-base and electrolyte balance between IDMvag and IDMcs. The plasma potassium level remained lower in IDM than in IHM. The study stress the importance of adequate management of diabetes in pregnancy in combination with active intravenous therapy during delivery and to the infant in the immediate neonatal period. The slightly larger metabolic acidosis seen in combination with vaginal delivery suggests that this mode of delivery should not be attempted uncritically in diabetic women.
