Zusammenfassung

Bei 61 Risikoschwangerschaften wurde während der Geburt kontinuierlich der fetale Gewebe-pH-Wert gemessen. Von 48 Fällen waren die Ergebnisse brauchbar, so daß sie mit den fetalen pH-Werten aus dem Kopfschwartenblut sowie mit den pH-Werten aus der Nabelarterie und Nabelvene verglichen werden konnten. Darüber hinaus wurden die Beziehungen zwischen dem Gewebe-pH-Wert und den Änderungen der fetalen Herzfrequenz analysiert. Die Änderung des Gewebe-pH-Wertes begann innerhalb der ersten 2–3 min nach einer Änderung der fetalen Herzfrequenz und entsprach dem erwarteten physiologischen Verhalten des fetalen Herzfrequenzmusters.

Summary

Continuous tissue pH monitoring was performed in 61 high risk pregnancies in labor. Useful data was obtained in 48 cases, and compared with fetal scalp blood pH and umbilical artery and vein blood pH. The relationship of tissue pH and fetal heart rate changes was analyzed. The tissue pH changes occurred within 2–3 min of the fetal heart rate change, and conformed to the expected fetal physiology of their heart rate pattern.
