Effect of the umbilical cord blood acid-base status and gas values on the yield of mononuclear cells and CD34⁺ cells.

Aim: To investigate the influence of umbilical cord blood (CB) acid-base status and gas values on the yield of mononuclear cells and CD34⁺ cells, pH, pCO₂, pO₂, HCO₃⁻ and base excess were measured in arterial CB samples obtained from normal full-term deliveries. The relationship of these values with the yield of mononuclear cells and CD34⁺ cells detected in venous CB was analyzed.

Material And Methods: A total of 145 CB units were collected from full-term vaginal deliveries at a single hospital.
