ARTERIAL and VENOUS cord gases made SIMPLE!!!!!

Once and for all (!!), learn why we want BOTH arterial and venous umbilical blood gases, and what they actually MEAN. Lots of confusion around this topic, but after watching this video, you'll have an excellent understanding of the physiology of the cord, what normal blood gases are, and why we care when they're abnormal. Stay tuned for an example at the end.

I pride myself on always trying to improve my knowledge base in Neonatology, even after 35 years in Neonatal Nursing- your videos are absolutely educational, fun and so gosh enjoyable. If only ALL Neonatologists were like you, I might have gone for NNP!- Coleen.

[@TalaTalksNICU]

Coleen- what an absolutely lovely comment. Everything becomes fun and enjoyable when you love what you do- so clearly you must love the NICU. So- it's never too late! Go for it and become an NNP! Clearly - the fact that you're still watching random educational videos in your spare time- means you're hungry for more! Thank you again so much for being here, and for making me smile during a sad NICU week!!

[@morganhough1022]

As a Labor & Delivery nurse I found this very helpful to understand cord gasses and fetal circulation better! Thank you!

[@TalaTalksNICU]

Oh YAY! Thanks so much for letting us know Morgan. We'll be putting out a video on use examples soon so hopefully that will really bang in the point. THANK YOU!

[@TalaTalksNICU]

I mean - I think drawings may be getting worse!!!! Let me know if you know of anyone!!! Thanks as always!

[@asherleh2570]

I go to Neonates in a few months and I am SO excited.
But this is so confusing - with adults we're taught that oxygenated blood travells in arteries, and deoxygenated blood travels in veins. But it's opposite with this umbilical anatomy? I'm so lost haha

[@TalaTalksNICU]

Yes! That's exactly what confuses us all!!! Agreed- different physiology! Good luck in the NICU- we hope you love it as much as we do!

[@mohammedmaheer4740]

Can a venous cord be located in the arm?

[@TalaTalksNICU]

Just a regular vein in the arm- not actual umbilical vein. Is this what you meant?
