AB  - KEY MESSAGE: The new NB scope aids in better visualization of the scalp and blood 
      collection and analysis at bed side. OBJECTIVE: Caesarean section rates and 
      inherent complications are on the rise all over the world. One way to avoid a 
      caesarean is to measure fetal scalp blood lactate levels. The methods available 
      to visualize fetal scalp, obtain the blood sample and perform the blood test are 
      separate, cumbersome and expensive, needing a certain level of expertise. We 
      propose a device that incorporates all the steps of obtaining a fetal scalp blood 
      lactate into one sleek, easy to use device. METHODS: The initial design, 3-D 
      print and was tried on mannequin. After ethics committee approval, the prototype 
      was experimented on patients in labour with singleton live fetus in cephalic 
      presentation with no evidence of distress. RESULTS: There were (n = 9) patients 
      recruited. There were (n = 5) primigravida and (n = 4) multigravida all of whom 
      were in active labour. Parity did not seem to influence ease of instrumentation. 
      Of the (n = 9) mothers (n = 2) had meconium-stained liquor and the rest (n = 7) 
      had clear liquor, meconium-stained liquor did not affect visualization. The mean 
      time taken to collect the sample was 184.11(+/- 33.04) seconds. CONCLUSION: The 
      Neeraj-Bhaskar (NB) scope is an easy to use, affordable device that can be used 
      time and again to decide on cases where emergency caesarean section can be 
      avoided due to fetal distress.
