ARTICLE SUMMARY:
After 50 years with limited advancements in monitoring for fetal well-being during labor, Raydiant Oximetry is developing a safe, non-invasive, completely external sensor that reports fetal blood oxygen levels. The information will provide clinicians the means to improve our understanding about how the fetus tolerates labor, and better inform decision-making for cesarean delivery.
In the United States, approximately one in every three babies is born via cesarean delivery, or C-section, an obstetric surgery involving an incision in the mother’s abdominal wall and uterus.
