Abstract
Continuous Scalp Tissue pH Monitoring was Performed in 152 Consecutive Cases. The success rate was 53 per cent. The average duration of pH monitoring was 151 minutes (range 0-609 minutes). A good correlation was found between tissue pH at delivery and blood pH in the umbilical artery (r = 0.78) and vein (r = 0.67). In no case with normal tissue pH (more than 7.20) and abnormal CTG was the Apgar score less than 8 one minute after delivery. A normal tissue pH almost always means that the fetus is not asphyxiated, but a low tissue pH reading may be caused by other factors than acidosis of the fetus. Continuous pH monitoring during labor remains a research method.This publication has 17 references indexed in Scilit:
