**ninvasix Transvaginal Fetal Cerebral Ve**us Oxygenation Monitor
[IMG]http://www.medgadget.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/**ninvasix-fetal-probe.jpg[/IMG] Blood Oxygenation monitoring is easy in typical patients, but a Cerebral Oxygenation in a fetus in the womb is much harder to assess.***ninvasix, a company based in Galveston, Texas, has developed a new device that, though **t yet cleared, may turn out to offer an easy way to accurately measure Cerebral Ve**us oxygenation. Currently, the variability in the basal Fetal heart rate is used as the standard, but this is an indirect measurement. For a fetus in vertex presentation, the new probe would be inserted*transvaginally, the physician holding it between two fingers and placing it against the baby’s head. Using*optoacoustic tech**logy, the device is able to*measure*cerebral Ve**us Oxygenation in the superior sagittal sinus, an area of the brain right below the scalp through which a lot of blood passes. Laser light is directed into the brain through the still translucent scalp of the fetus, triggering ultrasonic waves to be produced within that can be*detected and measured. The nature of the resulting sound waves will hopefully be indicative of Fetal blood Oxygenation and we’ll see this tech**logy help prevent a variety of terrible life long conditions. More details about the tech**logy we received from **ninvasix: Because the generated ultrasound signal returns in a straight line from the superior sagittal sinus, the actual saturation of hemoglobin in the superior sagittal sinus can be accurately determined.Here’s a quick company pitch from **ninvasix: **ninvasix contact info… The post **ninvasix Transvaginal Fetal Cerebral Ve**us Oxygenation Monitor appeared first on Medgadget. ??????? ??????: **ninvasix Transvaginal Fetal Cerebral Ve**us Oxygenation Monitor || ??????: rss || ??????: اسم منتداك
