title: [Diagnostic value of lochial pH, pCO2,and pO2 in puerperal endometritis].
abstract: A new method has been developed for rapid diagnosis of puerperial endometritis, based on measurements of lochial pH, pCO2, and pO2. Endometritis development is associated with acidosis in the uterine cavity (pH 6.8-7.2), elevation of pCO2 to make 40-70 mm Hg, and reduction of pO2 to make 40-80 mm Hg. The degree of these shifts is in direct relationship with the inflammatory process severity. The method is simple, almost noninvasive, and quite reliable.
