Diagnosis of Intrauterine Brain Hypoxia Using Thermal Imaging Video Monitoring of the Fetus

Diagnosis of intrauterine brain hypoxia using thermal imaging video monitoring of the fetus was implemented using local recording of temperature dynamics of the skin of the neonate’s head in the region of projection of the cranial fissure during the end of labor. In the norm, this temperature is equal to or higher than the temperature of skin above the cranial lobe. Local temperature decrease in the region of projection of the cranial fissure can be regarded as evidence of cerebral hypoxia.
