Popis: | Summary A carefully defined group of postmature and mature fetuses have been compared by determining acid-base status, and blood gas, haematocrit values and glucose levels during labour and at delivery. The haematocrit value was the only parameter in which significant differences between the groups were found. These were not related to fetal oxygenation but to probable differences in hydration. No justification was found for the view that the postmature fetus is more liable to hypoxia before or during labour than its mature counterpart. |
