METHOD FOR LABOR BY N.V. SOKOLOVA Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC A61B8/00 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention is referred to the field of medicine, namely to obstetrics, and can be used for labor with accounting of the fetus state. The ultrasound diagnostics of the fetus resistance to intrauterine hypoxia is performed during the act of breathing movements of its ribs. In case of detection of absence of breathing movements during contractions followed by the periods of fetus activity between contractions the level of intrauterine hypoxia shall be declared safe and if the performance persists the physiologic childbirth is performed. In case during contractions there is the period of breathing movements and multiple movements of limbs instead of initial immobility period the state is classified as hypoxic damage of fetus brain cortex and the woman is asked to breathe continuously until the umbilical cord is cut and if the performance persist the physiologic childbirth is performed in conditions of continuous breathing of the woman. If the movement activity of the fetus persists during constructions with the background of continuous breathing of the woman, the finger pulp on one of the fetus' hands is visualized additionally using ultrasound and with its echogenicity unchanging the woman is asked to breathe continuously, and in case of performance persisting the labor is performed in the short span of time. Lowered echogenicity of subcutaneous fat of the finger pulp during constrictions is considering the hypoxia endangering the vitality of brain cortex of fetus and in case of performance persisting immediate labor is performed.

EFFECT: method provides for timely labor due to increased effectiveness, precision and safety of evaluation of fetus' state during labor.
