Abstract
An improved continuous tissue pH monitoring system, designed for human subcutaneous fetal scalp tissue, was evaluated in 10 cats for a total of 60 hours. Respiratory acidosis was induced with and without hypoxia to model the pathology of human clinical fetal distress. Arterial and venous pH were sampled every 15 minutes and the values were compared to those from the pH monitor system. The values paralleled arterial and venous blood pH, with correlation coefficients up to 0.98 under various pathologic acidotic conditions.
