Wrasse are a species of fish belonging to the Labridae family. There are over six hundred species of wrasse throughout the world. Most are small fish but some â such as the comically named humphead wrasse (found only in the Pacific and Indian Oceans) â can grow to eight feet in length.
An Intrauterine Pressure Catheter (IUPC) is a form of fetal monitoring that is used in labor, typically for high-risk situations.
The catheter has a lumen (port) that opens at the tip of the catheter distal to the balloon. This port is connected to a pressure transducer. When properly positioned in a branch of the pulmonary artery, the distal port measures pulmonary artery pressure (~ 25/10 mmHg; systolic/diastolic pressure).
