Objective: To study the incidence and iatrogenic factors of neonatal triple acid-base disorders (TABD).

Methods: Arterial blood gas and serum Na+, K+ and Cl- of 105 patients were determined on admission and 24 hours later. Anion gap (AG) and potential HCO3- were calculated.

Result: The total morbidity of TABD was 15.23%. The morbidity of TABD in patients with moderate to sever HIE was significantly higher than those with mild HIE (p=0.034). The difference between the incidence rate of TABD in patients with hypoxemia and that in patients without hypoxemia was also significant. The incidence of TABD was high in patients treated with mechanical ventilation, NaHCO3 and dehydrant than those without TABD.

Conclusion: To obtain AG and potential HCO3- is very important to determine the existence of TABD. The correct use of dehydrant alkaline drugs and mechanical ventilation can reduce iatrogenic  harmful effects of TABD on neonatal patients.
