| pubmed-article:15205977 | pubmed:abstractText | Upright or ambulatory birth positions are favorable for fetal oxygenation. Studies of fetal oxygenation with regard to maternal position require free maternal mobility. Therefore, telemetry for a fetal sensor for such investigations is a pre-requisite. Telemetry-if technically feasible-could enable monitoring of fetal oxygen partial pressure using an existing sensor without restricting the mobility of the parturient woman. We have developed a telemetry system for use with a fetal transcutaneous partial oxygen pressure sensor (ttcpO(2)) and have studied effects of maternal position and position changes during normal labor. | lld:pubmed |
