Near-infrared spectroscopy of the placenta for monitoring fetal oxygenation during labour

Abstract: Although being the golden standard for intrapartum fetal surveillance, cardiotocography (CTG) has been shown to have poor specificity for detecting fetal acidosis. Non-invasive near-infrared-spectroscopy (NIRS) monitoring of placental oxygenation during labour has not been studied yet. The objective of the study was to determine whether changes in placental NIRS values during labour could identify intrapartum fetal hypoxia and resulting acidosis. We included 43 healthy women in active stage of labour at term. … Show more

“…The different classifications and variable guidelines regarding the group of patients eligible for this examination, as well as the frequency at which it should be performed, demonstrate the difficulty in achieving high specificity for the test 12–16. The use of near-infrared spectroscopy to assess fetal circulation oxygenation during labour, whether in the fetal head or placental area, has been tested but still has limited and inconclusive results 17 18…”
