NIRS has provided us with a reliable and sensitive method to monitor in utero fetal cerebral oxygenation in the surgically-recovered pregnant sheep. Our preliminary results indicate that monitoring fetal cerebral oxygenation may be important to understanding how maternal drug exposure can affect the fetal brain.
