[Pulsoximetric sensor for diagnosis of intrauterine foetus state during parturition].

Detrimental changes in the degree of blood hemoglobin saturation with oxygen are important evidence of hypoxic states and can be regarded as objective indication to surgical delivery. A new method of fetal pulsoximetry was developed. This method is based on the use of a non-disposable atraumatic pulsoximetric sensor of reflectory type for diagnosis of intrauterine foetus state during parturition.

[A "neuromyo-test-response 01" device for neuromuscular function control during anesthesia].

The paper outlines the technical data and procedure of using a new "neuromyotest-response-01" device designed by the Novye Pribory (New Devices) Medical Engineering Center (Samara) for estimation of the level of neuromuscular block.

[Use of peripheral electro-neurostimulation for obstetric analgesia].

Labor analgesia by antipain peripheral electro-neurostimulation (APES), including paravertebral transcutaneous electro-neurostimulation (TENS), two-channel TENS, rectal electrostimulation, using the Eliman device, was conducted in 234 term deliveries. The results were good or satisfactory in 94.3% of the parturients.
