[Significance of a general umbilical-cord pH for the evaluation of acidosis morbidity].

The value of a general pH analysis of the artery umbilicalis as a parameter of the postnatal diagnostic of the newborns is shown. The classification of the values in different grades of acidity and the relation to the Apgar score show, that the light and middle-heavy acidoses are not determined sufficiently by the Apgar score. The CTG-monitoring and the stimulation of the Oxytocin had no influence on the frequency of the different grades of the acidity. The meaning of the general blood-gas analysis in the artery umbilicalis for the morbidity of acidity and the check of the obstetrical activity of the clinic is shown.
