SYSTEMS, DEVICES, AND METHODS FOR PERFORMING FETAL OXIMETRY AND/OR FETAL PULSE OXIMETRY USING A TRANSVAGINAL FETAL OXIMETRY PROBE, TRANSCERVICAL FETAL OXIMETRY PROBE, AND/OR TRANSURETHRAL FETAL OXIMETRY PROBE

摘要

Transvaginal and/or transcervical fetal oximetry probes may be configured to take measurements in the endocervical canal of a pregnant mammal that may be used to determine a fetal hemoglobin oxygen saturation level using, for example, oximetry, pulse oximetry, and/or tissue oxygen saturation calculations. Transurethral fetal oximetry probes may be configured to be inserted into a urethra of a pregnant mammal and be positioned proximate to a wall of a bladder of the pregnant mammal proximate to the fetus. Once in position, the Transurethral fetal oximetry probe may take measurements that may be used to determine a fetal hemoglobin oxygen saturation level using, for example, oximetry, pulse oximetry, and/or tissue oxygen saturation calculations.
