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.

Fetal Circulation
Two umbilical arteries transport blood from the fetus to the placenta. At the placenta, the blood absorbs oxygen and nutrients while simultaneously eliminating waste products. This oxygen-enriched and nutrient-rich blood then returns to the fetus through one...
