Discordancy of pH value between two umbilical arteries at delivery
This study demonstrated that discordance in pH values between umbilical arteries can occur under specific conditions such as lower Z-scores of birth weight or pH values, and umbilical artery Doppler abnormalities. These findings suggest the need for dual artery sampling in high-risk cases to ensure an accurate evaluation of fetal acid-base status.
