As an application of near-infrared spectroscopy, pulse oximetry is widely used to non-
invasively measure the arterial oxygen saturation (SpO 2). To improve the maternal and fetal …

About one in three births in the United States is through Cesarean section. Current
monitoring techniques are insufficient to determine hypoxia and acidosis in the fetus during …

We propose a new non-invasive approach to transabdominally measure fetal oxygen
saturation based on time-domain interferometric near-infrared spectroscopy. We use the …

The possibility of optical oximetry of the blood in the fetal brain measured across the
maternal abdomen just prior to birth is under investigation. Such measurements could detect …

Transabdominal fetal pulse oximetry is a method to monitor the oxygen supply of the unborn
child non-invasively. Due to the measurement setup, the received signal of the detector is …

Transabdominal fetal pulse oximetry is a method to estimate the state of oxygenation of a
fetus in-utero, utilizing the principle of reflection pulse oximetry. The extraction of fetal related …

Noninvasive transabdominal fetal pulse oximetry can provide clinicians critical assessment
of fetal health and potentially contribute to improved management of childbirth. Conventional …

Monitoring the state of health from fetus and mother non-invasively is still a big challenge in
prenatal diagnostics. In this contribution the photon propagation in the maternal abdomen of …

Pulse oximetry (oxygen saturation monitoring) has markedly improved medical care in many
fields, including anesthesiology, intensive care, and newborn intensive care. In obstetrics …

We are developing a Non-invasive, Transabdominal Fetal Oximetry system to provide
worried mothers and obstetrician's with needed information regarding fetal well-being during …
