During childbirth process, trauma to an infant can readily arise, ultimately resulting in fetal hypoxia, academia, and brain damage. Such unfavorable conditions can be prevented by measuring the fetus' blood-oxygen level and heart rate. Without a fetal pulse oximeters, blood oxygen level cannot ...
Did you know there are different ways to monitor the baby’s heartbeat during labor and birth? Continuous electronic fetal monitoring (EFM) is common but not without its drawbacks. We discuss the pros and cons of EFM and its alternative, hands-on listening with a fetal Doppler or fetal stet...
Electronic fetal monitoring isn't painful. That said, some moms-to-be find it somewhat uncomfortable to have the transducers strapped to their belly during labor. Being tethered to a monitor can limit your movement and may make it harder for you to cope with contractions, too. ...
(Francis et al., 1992). Doppler ultrasound can be used for monitoring of thrombolysis with enzymes such as tissue plasminogen activator (TPA), and this opens the possibility of combined therapy and monitoring. In an early test, transcranial Doppler (TCD) DUS applied during TPA infusion for 30...
External monitoring isn’t risky. It doesn’t hurt or use radiation. If your doctor uses a belt, it might be a little uncomfortable. It also might mean you have to stay in bed during labor. Internal monitoring risks include: Slight discomfort ...
Intermittent fetal monitoringdocuments the fetal heart rate at least every 15 minutes during the first stage of labor (before complete dilation or 1 to 9cm) and at least every 5 minutes during the second stage of labor (while pushing). The heart rate is recorded at the start of a co...
Collectively, these findings demonstrated that it is the interaction between KIR2DL1 on maternal uNK cells and HLA-C*05 on the invading fetal trophoblast cells that changes remodeling of the uterine spiral arteries during gestation, thereby contributing to the development of FGR in KIR × C*...
The use of conventional cardiotocographic (CTG) monitoring of fetal well-being during labour is associated with an increased caesarean section rate, compar... Paul B. Colditz,Christine East - John Wiley & Sons, Ltd 被引量: 95发表: 2012年 Persistent lactic acidosis in neonatal hypoxic-ischaemic...
Ultrasonographic monitoring of 103 recipient mares of different reproductive status during the first 30 days after embryo transfers Ten pluriparous mares were used as donors to supply embryos which were transferred into 103 recipients, 31 of which were nulliparous, 34 were pluriparous a...

Near infrared spectroscopy can be used to measure fetal brain oxygenation during labour. The purpose of this article is to inform midwives of this latest development of intrapartum monitoring. It will describe the principles and clinical application of this technique and will discuss the role of the...
