Transcutaneous P o 2 was continuously recorded from 17 newborns sub partu by normal deliveries and four cases with umbilical cord complications. These data were correlated with the corresponding fetal heart rate alterations and the maximum of contraction directly and 30 s thereafter. During the course of delivery three stages are differentiated: first stage of labor, full cervix dilatation, second stage of labor. The statistical evaluation succeeded in the χ 2 ‐test (P < 0.01). Deriving from this result the tc P o 2 measurement is an additional aiding procedure beside the cardiotocographic control for subpartal supervision.
