2.) Which one is better???
the lactate measurement or the pH...in fetus??

thanks and regards

If it is for Cardiac, Check TEG Thromboelastograph, for the second question don't you think that this should be addressed to a consultant and not technicians and/or engineers?

Perhaps Shiju was looking for a second opinion, Neil.

Or even an unbiased one!

Unbiased or a second opinion, but if it is for medical reasons, a medical opinion should be sought!

Yes, Geoff
its actually a second opinion am asking for...

and then Neil..
thromboelastograph relates to pH ????but how?? are we measuring pH in thromboelastograph..i mean does that have any option to analyse pH as well??

Thrombelastography evaluates the viscoelastic properties of blood during coagulation..the clot kinetics .. clot strength etc ..
