ABSTRACT:
The present invention aids a person who is assisting with fetal extraction by monitoring and recording the pressure inside a vacuum device. The device includes a cable that is attachable to a monitor enabled to record a detected pressure, and a pressure detection device coupled to the cable. The pressure detection device is coupled to tubing such that the pressure detection device detects the pressure in the tubing. In yet another embodiment, the invention is a pump-attachable device for monitoring and recording a pressure in a vacuum device. In another embodiment, the invention is embodied as a method that includes the acts of attaching a suction device to a fetus, detecting the vacuum pressure, and recording the vacuum pressure.
