  • Title: Evaluation of a continuous tissue pH monitor in the human fetus during labor.
    Author: Kellner KR, Key TC, Cruz AC, Spellacy WN.
    Journal: Obstet Gynecol; 1980 Apr; 55(4):523-5. PubMed ID: 7366910.
    Abstract:
    Continuous tissue pH monitoring of the fetus was successfully conducted in 13 of 21 patients (61.9%) during labor. There was a significant correlation between the tissue pH and both the scalp capillary blood pH (r = 0.94, P less than 0.001) and the umbilical artery blood pH (r = 0.92, P less than 0.01). These findings confirm the accuracy of the tissue pH instrumentation in reflecting fetal acid-base status and support the potential usefulness of the instrumentation in perinatal medicine for continuous fetal acid-base monitoring.
