Use of fetal pulse oximetry among high-risk women in labor: A randomized clinical trial

Article Abstract:

The study determined the clinical role of fetal pulse oximetry to reduce cesarean delivery for a nonreassuring fetal heart rate facing. It concluded that the use of fetal pulse oximetry with electronic fetal heart rate monitoring does not decrease the rate of cesarean delivery, although it does not alter the decision-to-incision time.
