A method for confirming hypoxia in fetal scalp blood collected at delivery, including measurement of total lactate dehydrogenase in plasma obtained from a sample. The method involves further measurement of K, Mg, Ca, AST, ALT, lactic acid in plasma and / or blood. One or several high values of LDH, Mg, Ca, AST, ALT, and lactic acid indicate hypoxia in the fetus. The method also discloses the use of a plasma separator. [Selection figure] None |
