Comparative StudyReusable sensors in intrapartum foetal reflection pulse oximetry.
To evaluate the accuracy of intrapartum foetal pulse oximetry (SO(2POX)) using reusable sensors and the effect of a sensor performance test on data quality. Furthermore, to assess the sensor-related costs by using reusable sensors and sensor performance test. ⋯ Pulse oximetry may reflect fetal oxygen saturation. Data quality may be compromised by insufficient sensor performance, even though the reflection signal quality is acceptable. If sensor performance is tested before each measurement, reusable sensors may reduce the costs of fetal pulse oximetry.
