Problems solved by technology

It also places a burden on delivery room staff, especially during peak periods
Also, because finger checks are intermittent, trends and sharp changes in labor progress are sometimes missed, again leading to poor decisions
Also, multiple finger checks increase the risk of inflammation

Embodiment Construction

[0036] In the following description, different aspects of the invention will be explained. For purposes of illustration, specific configurations and details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the invention. However, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that the present invention may be practiced without the specific details set forth herein. Furthermore, well-known features are omitted or simplified in order to concisely illustrate the present invention.

[0037] Referring to Figure 1, there is shown schematically an example of a mother's uterus during labor and a system for monitoring the progress of labor. Computer 12 (which may be, for example, a personal computer, a workstation, a special purpose device including a "computer on a chip", etc.) outputs some display, such as display 14 or 16, to a monitor. Displays different from this can also be used. The computer 12 is operatively connected, for example, to the transmitter 10 and t...

Abstract

A method of monitoring the progress of labor in a mother during childbirth, by using a position sensor to measure a predetermined point on the mother; monitoring the location of the position sensor in three-dimensional space; and monitoring the location of the fetal presenting part with respect to the predetermined point on the mother. The location of the fetal presenting part may be indicated by a similar position sensor, or by imaging. Other conditions, such as effacement, cervical dilatation, and cervical position may also be monitored in a similar manner. A reference or affixation point may be provided to the position sensor by, for example, attaching a key or shaped object to one or more points on the fetus or mother.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method and device for monitoring the progress of labor during labor. Background technique [0002] Normal labor is generally divided into 3 phases: the first phase begins with the onset of labor and ends when the cervix is ​​fully dilated; the second phase begins when the first phase ends and ends when the baby is fully born; and then the third phase, which stage until delivery of the placenta. During labor, the baby's heart rate is usually recorded either using an external ultrasound system and the mother's contractions are detected using the external system, or an electronic system is used to sense the baby's heartbeat by means of electrodes attached to the baby's head and A pressure catheter in the mother's uterus senses the mother's contractions. [0003] However, many other physical conditions of the mother and baby may also be monitored during labor to determine the progress of labor. These additional states ...
