[Commentary on] Determination of pH or lactate in fetal scalp blood in management of intrapartum fetal distress: randomized controlled multicenter trial.
Analyzing fetal scalp blood pH has been viewed as an effective means of identifying intrapartum fetal hypoxia using 7.20 as a cutoff value. Analyzing pH is, however, complicated and requires up to 50 [mu]l of blood. Lactate, a metabolite of anaerobic metabolism, also reflects tissue hypoxia. Its pre...
