conversation after the cesarean is completed
B. Enter an objective transcription of the conversation in the electronic record while
colleagues are preparing the patient for surgery

An infant was delivered via cesarean. Umbilical cord blood gases were: pH 6.88, PCO2 114,
PO2 10, bicarbonate 15, base excess (-) 20. The initial neonatal hemocrit was 20% and the
hemoglobin was 8.
