Measure
Liberal Use of Maternal Oxygen
Administration of maternal oxygen, 100% FiO2 at 10L/min via nonrebreather face mask with any category 2 tracing as defined by the American Congress of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ACOG) at the discretion of the primary nurse or physician
Indicated Use of Maternal Oxygen
Administration of maternal oxygen, 100% fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) at 10 liters/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.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: at time of birth

Population: For this outcome measure, the number of participants analyzed is not equal to the number of participants who started or completed the study because each participant's provider determines whether umbilical artery pH is analyzed, and thus, umbilical artery pH is not collected for every participant in the study.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 5 minutes after birth

The Apgar score is based on a total score of 1 to 10. The higher the score, the better the baby is doing after birth. A score of 7, 8, or 9 is normal and is a sign that the newborn is in good health. A score of 10 is very unusual, since almost all newborns lose 1 point for blue hands and feet, which is normal for after birth.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: during labor

Population: For this outcome measure, the number of participants analyzed is not equal to the number of participants who started or completed the study because not all participants received oxygen. All who received oxygen were analyzed for this measure.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: during labor

"Intrauterine resuscitation" includes administration of terbutaline, amnioinfusion, cessation of oxytocin, and intravenous (IV) fluid boluses. In this measure, the number of participants who received any of these 5 procedures will be reported in aggregate as the "number of participants who received intrauterine resuscitation other than administration of maternal oxygen."
