    A total of 65 women in labor complicated with uterine inertia were investigated for tissue pO2 and cardiac performance of fetuses under the effect of oxytocin. The authors stated that the aggravation of fetal status in drug-induced labors resulted from poorer tissue oxygenation caused by the activation of uterine contractility. In this line, hypoxic changes of the fetus were more pronounced in pregnancies complicated by nephropathy or prolonged pregnancy. Accurate monitoring of the fetal status and the character of induced labor course was found to be mandatory. Before oxytocin induction the fetus should be protected with diazepam.

    Pulse Oximetry

    Pulse oximetry, or SpO2, is a non-invasive method for continuously monitoring arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2). This procedure involves attaching a probe or sensor to the patient's fingertip, forehead, earlobe, or nose bridge. The sensor works by detecting changes in oxygen saturation levels through light signals generated by the oximeter and reflected by the pulsing blood under the probe.
    Purpose
    Average SpO2 values are greater than 95%. If the readings fall below 90%, it indicates that...
