Abstract
Although CNS hemorrhages have long been observed in infants with hyaline membrane disease, the etiology of these hemorrhages is still unknown. Two proposed etiologies are hypoxia with acidosis and iatrogenic hypernatremia secondary to sodium bicarbonate therapy. An experiment on kittens comparing these two hypotheses suggested that intracranial hemorrhages were related only to elevated serum sodium concentrations. The CNS hemorrhages were independent of experimentally induced hypoxemia and its consequent acidosis.
