Abstract
Pulse oximetry is well established in anesthesia and intensiv care med icine. Application for fetal monitoring would be desirable, but signif icant modifications are necessary. We report our first promising clini cal experience with a self-developed probe, hard- and software system. We hope by the positive results which we have observed that this new technology - oxycardiotocography (OCTG) will improve the safety of fet al monitoring.
