The Comparative Effectiveness of Liberal Versus Restricted Maternal Administration of Oxygen During Labor: a Controlled Before and After Study
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Liberal use of maternal oxygen and Indicated use of maternal oxygen for Maternal Oxygen Use in Labor. Completed, enrolled 844 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The objective of this study is to determine if a strategy of indicated compared to liberal oxygen administration in labor decreases the rate of cesarean delivery. The hypothesis is that women who undergo a strategy of indicated compared to liberal oxygen administration in labor will have lower rate of cesarean delivery and fetal acidemia at birth.

Timeline
Interventions
Administration of maternal oxygen, 100% FiO2 at 10L/min via nonrebreather face mask with any category 2 tracing as defined by ACOG10 at the discretion of the primary nurse or physician
Administration of maternal oxygen, 100% FiO2 at 10L/min via nonrebreather face mask only in the setting of a category 2 tracing with recurrent late fetal heart rate decelerations, prolonged fetal deceleration, fetal tachycardia, or minimal to absent fetal heart rate variability lasting 30 minutes or greater. Maternal oxygen is discontinued once these conditions have resolved and may be readministered if they recur.
