Continuous tissue pH measurement on the fetus during delivery.
Tissue pH values of 70 fetuses have been measured continuously during labor using the micro-electrode designed by Stamm. Significant correlation between continuous tissue pH and corresponding micro blood values can be shown. However, the relationship between patterns of tissue pH and capillary pH values seems not to be very constant. Therefore, the reliability of individual tissue pH measurements is still questionable.
