Acid–base homeostasis

Acid–base homeostasis is the homeostatic regulation of the pH of the body's extracellular fluid (ECF).

Acidosis

Acidosis is a process causing increased acidity in the blood and other body tissues (i.e., an increased hydrogen ion concentration).

Blood lancet

A blood lancet, or simply lancet, is a small medical implement used for capillary blood sampling.

Capillary action

Capillary action (sometimes capillarity, capillary motion, capillary effect, or wicking) is the ability of a liquid to flow in narrow spaces without the assistance of, or even in opposition to, external forces like gravity.

Childbirth

Childbirth, also known as labour and delivery, is the ending of a pregnancy by one or more babies leaving a woman's uterus by vaginal passage or C-section.

Fetal scalp stimulation test

Fetal scalp stimulation test is a diagnostic test used to detect fetal metabolic acidemia.

Hypoxia (medical)

Hypoxia is a condition in which the body or a region of the body is deprived of adequate oxygen supply at the tissue level.

Lactic acid

Lactic acid is an organic compound with the formula CH3CH(OH)COOH.

PH

In chemistry, pH is a logarithmic scale used to specify the acidity or basicity of an aqueous solution.

Sensitivity and specificity

Sensitivity and specificity are statistical measures of the performance of a binary classification test, also known in statistics as a classification function.
