Intrapartum fetal pulse oximetry. Part 2: Clinical application
1Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, National University of Singapore, Singapore.
Unlabelled:
Part II continues by discussing the clinical application of fetal pulse oximetry in intrapartum fetal surveillance as reviewed in the literature. It profiles the predictive ability of fetal pulse oximetry and its correlation with conventional methods of fetal monitoring. In addition, an account is made of its limitations, safety, and acceptability in clinical practice.
Target Audience:
Obstetricians & Gynecologists, Family Physicians
Learning Objectives:
After completion of this article, the reader will be able to describe the predictive abilities of fetal pulse oximetry and its correlation with conventional methods of fetal monitoring, to define the critical threshold of fetal oxygen saturation, and to summarize the safety of fetal pulse oximetry.

The Role of Diffusion in Respiration
Diffusion is the process by which molecules move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. In the respiratory system, this principle...

Fetal Circulation
Two umbilical arteries transport blood from the fetus to the placenta. At the placenta, the blood absorbs oxygen and nutrients while simultaneously eliminating waste products. This oxygen-enriched and nutrient-rich blood then returns to the fetus through one...
