Abstract:Background: Neonatal sepsis is responsible for approximately 15% of all neonatal deaths in the world. Despite of availability in advanced medical healthcare facilities for mother and neonates, incidence of mortality secondary to sepsis especially in developing countries like India is more common. Metabolic acidosis is the most common form of acid base imbalance in neonatal sepsis which can be analyzed with increased levels of base excess. Hence early diagnosis of neonatal sepsis can be done by determining base… Show more
