The book explores the critical aspects of hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy in relation to perinatal asphyxia, addressing both medical and legal implications. It delves into the reliability of combined intensive monitoring of the fetus during labor, providing a critical review of fetal heart rate monitoring. The text discusses challenges and solutions related to asphyxia during childbirth and examines the basic principles and issues surrounding pulse oximetry at low oxygen saturation levels, including artifacts and calibration techniques. Practical applications of fetal pulse oximetry are highlighted, particularly in managing fetal arrhythmias and assessing gas exchange during labor. The book also covers non-invasive measurements of systemic oxygen transport as optimal postnatal monitoring. It presents experimental calibration methods for pulse oximeters, including first experiences with reflection pulse oximeters in pulmonary insufficient patients. Additionally, the text analyzes fetal oxygen saturation in relation to various cardiotocography patterns and the correlation between fetal oxygen saturation and outcomes. It discusses intrapartum monitoring techniques, including the use of balloon probes, and the impact of maternal oxygen administration on fetal saturation. The integration of laser spectroscopy and simultaneous monitoring techniques further enhances understanding of fetal health during labor and delivery.
