In 21 full-term pregnant women during labor, the administration of oxygen to the mother caused a rise in fetal muscular pO2. Oxygen administration had no effect on normal fetal heart rate. In cases of fetal distress, it corrected totally or partially the two abnormal features present in fetal heart rate tracings: (1) abnormally high basal fetal heart rate (above 160 beats per minute); (2) type II dips (i.e., transient fall of fetal heart rate, the bottom of which is recorded 20 to 60 seconds after the peak of the uterine contraction). These effects of oxygen were shown to be reversible, since they disappeared when the administration of oxygen was discontinued. |
