@entity600 is one of the common causes of mortality and morbidity in neonates and the incidence is 2-9 per 1,000 live borns. The present work is a retrospective hospital based observational study. Babies born at B.P. Koirala Institute of Health Sciences, Dharan, Nepal during the period from April 2002 to April 2003 with gestational age >or=37 weeks with Apgar score <or=6 at 5 minutes were included in the study. The aim was to study the clinical profile, the acid base parameters and the outcome of asphyxiated newborns. Babies with @entity154 , evidence of @entity281 and maternal drug addiction were excluded from the study. All babies were resuscitated according to the guidelines of American Heart Association. Data on 50 @entity600 cases were tabulated and analysed. There were 10 (20%) cases of severe @entity600 (Apgar score: 1-3 ) and 40 (80%) cases of moderate @entity600 (Apgar score: 4-6). Staging of @entity75 ( @entity75 ) was performed according to Sarnat's staging. Thirty percent of these cases presented with various stages of @entity75 and the incidence was higher in low Apgar score group. The common presentations of @entity75 cases had @entity308 neonatal reflexes, @entity410 , lethargy, and @entity2300 . The common acid base disturbance was @entity520 which was observed only in babies with @entity75 -3. Two neonates (4%) died during the hospital stay due to @entity177 and severe @entity520 .
