Development of a special electrode for continuous subcutaneous pH measurement in the infant scalp
American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology
|January 15, 1976
Abstract:
Using a combined special glass electrode it is possible to monitor pH ratios and pH variation in the subcutaneous tissue of the infant scalp continuously. Tests on a normal sample of newborn babies immediately after birth showed a significant correlation between tissue pH and capillary blood pH, with the trend of pH variation being broadly similar in both measurement media.
