The calcium level in the sera of the parturients and the cord blood of 49 cases as well as 37 healthynon-pregnant women as control was determined by Clark-Collip method.
The chloride level in the sera of the parturients and cord blood of 50 cases as well as 38 healthy non-pregnant women as control was determined by Schales and Schales method.
The results- obtained are as follows:
1) The mean value of calcium in the cord blood was 11.84±0.18 mg./100 ml. and in the parturients 11.04±0.17 mg./100 ml.
The mean value of calcium of the cord blood was 0.80 mg./100 ml. higher than that lof the parturients which is statistically significant, (t=3.2, 0.01>p>0.001)
The mean value of calcium of non-pregnant women was 11.38±0.19 mg,./100 ml., 0.34 mg./100´ ml. higher than that of the parturients. This difference is not significant statistically. (t =1.36, 0.3>P>0.2)
2) The mean value of chloride in the cord blood was 109.86±1.60 mEq../L. and in the parturients 103.54±1,18 mEq./L.
The mean value of chloride of the cord blood was 6.32 mEq./L. higher than that of the parturients. This difference is statistically significant. (t=3.19, O.OI p>O.001)
The mean value of chloride of non-pregnant women was 102.1±1.20 mEq./L.
The difference in the mean value of the parturients is not significant statistically. (t=0.85, 0.5>p>0.4).
