Feasibility of a Non-invasive, Trans-abdominal, Low Cost Fetal Oximetry Probe on Pregnant Human Subjects
Feasibility of a Non-invasive, Trans-abdominal, Low Cost Fetal Oximetry Probe on Pregnant Human Subjects
Three non-invasive, trans-abdominal fetal oximetry probes will be tested on pregnant human subjects, in order to obtain fetal heart rate.
We want to determine if this device can accurately measure a baby's oxygen level when placed on your abdomen.
Current technology to measure a baby's oxygen levels requires a probe to be inserted into the vagina.
The study subject will have a brief trans-abdominal ultrasound examination.
3 trans-abdominal fetal oximetry probes will be tested for 5 minutes per probe. No probes will be placed into the vagina.
It is anticipated that 6 months will be required to recruit, consent and study 25 participants.
