Measurement of Haematological Parameters of Newborns Cord Blood in Shendi Hospital

Abstract

This is a cross sectional descriptive study conducted in Shendi hospital in the period from 15\1\2010 to 2\6\2011, the study aimed at determination of hematological parameters in the newborns. 200 blood samples were collected from the cord in EDTA anticoagulant containers then mix well and transfer to the laboratory , following standard procedures to prevent contamination, then analyzed using Hematological analyzer (Sysmex). Our results after statistical analysis by SPSS showed that the Hematological parameters in the cord blood were , Mean±SD of WBCS was (11,5*109±3,5) and the RBCS(4.09*1012 ±0.7), HGB(15,5g/dl±1,4),HCT(48,6±5),MCV(110,01±7,5)MCH(33±2,09),MC HC(31±1,1),LYM(35,5±7,5)NEUT(58±8,1),Mon(4.3±1.4),Eos(2.21±0.7) ,Bas(1.02±0.51),NRBCs(5.87/100 WBCs±12)and PLT(218*109±49,6). The study concluded that, the hematological parameters in newborns in shendi was similar with other countries and there is significant difference P.value (0.000) in Hb, WBCs and platelet due to environmental, economic and cultural differenence.We conclude that good nutrition and Hb estimation are important to women during pregnancy.
