Fetal pulse oximetry: influence of tissue blood content and hemoglobin concentration in a new in-vitro model.
To assess the influence of the blood content of the tissue and the hemoglobin content of the blood upon pulse oximetry at oxygen saturation ranges that commonly occur in the fetus during birth. ⋯ Pulse oximetry at low saturations should take the blood content of the tissue and hemoglobin content of the blood into account in order to provide more accurate results.

Fetal oxygen saturation measured by pulse oximetry during labour with clear or meconium-stained amniotic fluid.
To compare fetal oxygen saturation, scalp pH and arterial cord blood gases in cases of clear or meconium-stained amniotic fluid with and without meconium aspiration (MAS). ⋯ Meconium aspiration is more likely to be associated with fetal hypoxemia than with fetal acidosis.

Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical TrialPost-partum urinary retention: a comparison between two methods of epidural analgesia.
To compare two methods of epidural labor analgesia regarding the incidence of post-partum urinary retention. ⋯ EDA significantly increased the risk of post-partum urinary retention but no difference was found between the two epidural techniques.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical TrialSecond trimester pregnancy termination including fetal death: comparison of five different methods.
To compare the efficacy of methods for second trimester pregnancy termination. ⋯ In comparison with the five methods, the use of extraamniotic ethacridine, intravenous concentrated oxytocin, and balloon was found to provide more effective treatment than intracervical PGE2 and misoprostol in terms of achievement of abortion within 24 and 48 h.

Comparative Study Clinical Trial Controlled Clinical TrialIntravenous iron sucrose complex in the treatment of iron deficiency anemia during pregnancy.
To evaluate the safety and efficacy of intravenous iron sucrose complex (ISC) as compared with oral ferrous sulfate in the treatment of iron deficiency anemia during pregnancy. ⋯ We conclude that ISC is safe and effective in the treatment of iron deficiency anemia during pregnancy.
