OC03.04: Brain oxygen saturation during umbilical cord cannulation in a fetal lamb model of artificial placenta system.

This article, titled "OC03.04: Brain oxygen saturation during umbilical cord cannulation in a fetal lamb model of artificial placenta system," discusses a study conducted on lamb fetuses to evaluate the variations in brain regional oxygen saturation during umbilical cord cannulation and transfer to an artificial placenta system. The study found that umbilical cord cannulation was associated with preserved brain perfusion, regardless of the cannulation time. There was a transient decrease in brain oxygen saturation during cannulation, followed by a slight increase after connection to the artificial placenta system. Complications, such as blood loss, occurred in some cases. [Extracted from the article]
