[Pulsoximetric sensor for diagnosis of intrauterine foetus state during parturition]
Detrimental changes in the degree of blood hemoglobin saturation with oxygen are important evidence of hypoxic states and can be regarded as objective indication to surgical delivery. A new method of fetal pulsoximetry was developed. This method is based on the use of a non-disposable atraumatic pulsoximetric sensor of reflectory type for diagnosis of intrauterine foetus state during parturition. The clinical trial of the system was carried out in 44 women in childbirth and revealed clear differentiation between hypoxic states.

Guidelines For Measuring Vital Signs
Before taking a patient's vital signs, a nurse would consider and assess the patient's comfort level and ensure appropriate equipment is available.
Equipments Used To Measure Blood Pressure
This invasive approach involves cannulating a peripheral artery. During each cardiac contraction, pressure generates mechanical motion within the catheter, transmitted through rigid, fluid-filled tubing to a transducer. This transducer converts mechanical motion into electrical signals displayed as waveforms on a monitor. An automatic flushing system prevents blood backflow. Due to the potential risk of unexpected arterial blood loss, this method is primarily used in intensive...
