title: [Level of cortisol in blood serum of maternal and umbilical cord during various methods of delivery].
abstract: The effect of stress during labor on the plasma concentration of cortisol was studied in 82 women. The total cortisol levels in the maternal serum and cord blood were measured by radioimmunoassay during spontaneous labor (PSN), oxytocin induced labor (PI), elective cesarean section (CCE), and emergency cesarean section (CCC). The result indicate that cortisol level was higher after PI (710 ng/ml) and CCC (755.4 ng/ml) and lower in CCE (278.9 ng/ml) in the maternal vein. In cord blood after CCC was higher (530.8 ng/ml), and lower after CCE (157.8 ng/ml).
