Abstract

AIM
 Evaluate whether lactate increase in amniotic fluid influences cesarean delivery or correlation of this increase with oxytocin induction and early neonatal blood gas parameters.
 METHODS
 We designed this prospective study of 408 pregnant women. We divided the groups as vaginal delivery (n=184), emergency cesarean (n=46), and planned cesarean delivery (n=178). We evaluated the AFL values in terms of being associated with labor outcomes and neonatal blood gas parameters.
 RESULTS
 AFL level was different between all three groups. Cord blood pH, lactate values, and maternal age were different between the groups. We analyzed the AFL level and cord blood lactate (CBL) values according to acidemia. The group's lactate levels with a pH
