Readings (n=21), 19% incorrect out which (n=2), it not possible to analyze result difficult palpate pulse. Conclusion: This study showcased novel approach sex determination Western Medicine outside normal method Implementation this showed detection rates (80.9%) compared determining heart rate guess (50%). A cost effective, easy use time-saving method, requiring any prerequisites (can be done anyone irrespectively) principles can new opening field obstetrics for an efficient especially low-resource countries.
