You are called to see a 24 year old patient who is currently in labour but is failing to progress. A fetal blood sample is sent for analysis. pH is 7.22. Which of the following is the appropriate course of action?
Your Answer: Repeat in 30 minutes if CTG remains abnormal
Correct Answer: Consider delivery
Explanation:A normal pH value is above 7.25. A pH below 7.20 is confirmation of fetal compromise. Values between 7.20 and 7.25 are ‘borderline’.
The base deficit can also be useful in interpretation of the fetal scalp pH. A base excess of more than -10 demonstrates a significant metabolic acidosis, with increasing risk of fetal neurological injury beyond this level. Delivery should be considered.
