title: Clinical aspects of continuous tissular pH measurements of the newborn and the fetus.
abstract: The first results of continuous tissular pH readings in 58 neonates are presented. These results are compared with blood pH values and technical problems are discussed. The positive results made us proceed to sub-partu measurements. We finally give our opinion on the new ROCHE equipment and insist that it is not yet ready for routine use, but a promising tool for clinical research.
