    Author: Brown WU, Bell GC, Alper MH.
    Journal: Obstet Gynecol; 1976 Jul; 48(1):27-30. PubMed ID: 934571.
    Abstract:
    Four newborn infants were studied following maternal epidural block with lidocaine or mepivacaine. Each of these neonates, born with a pH of 7.23 or below in the umbilical vein blood, showed an elevated fetal-to-maternal concentration ratio, a possible manifestation of ion trapping of a weak base.
