Abstract
BACKGROUND Maternal oxygen supplementation is usually used as an intrauterine resuscitation technique to prevent fetal hypoxia and acidemia during delivery. However, there has been a great deal of controversy regarding the effects of prophylactic maternal oxygen during cesarean section, during which the incidence of fetal acidemia seems to be higher compared with that during labor. High-flow nasal oxygen (HFNO) can improve oxygenation better in patients with high-flow oxygen airflow. The purpose of this study is to determine whether maternal oxygen supplementation with HFNO has a positive effect on fetal acidemia during cesarean section through umbilical arterial blood gas analysis. METHOD This prospective, single-center, randomized, double-blinded trial will enroll 120 patients undergoing cesarean section. Participants will be randomly assigned to the HFNO group or air group at a 1:1 ratio. For parturients in the HFNO group, the flow rate is 40L/min, and the oxygen is heated to 37℃ with humidity 100% oxygen concentration through the Optiflow high-flow nasal oxygen system. And for the air group, the flow rate is 2 L/min with an air pattern through the same device. The primary outcome was umbilical artery (UA) lactate. Secondary outcomes include UA pH, PO2, PCO2, BE, the incidence of pH < 7.20 and pH < 7.10, Apgar scores at 1 and 5 min, and neonatal adverse outcomes. DISCUSSION Our study is the first trial investigating whether maternal oxygen supplementation with HFNO can reduce the umbilical artery lactate levels and the incidence of fetal acidemia in cesarean section under combined spinal-epidural anesthesia. TRIAL REGISTRATION ClinicalTrials.gov NCT05921955. Registered on 27 June 2023.

Abstract
Maternal oxygenation (MO) is widely applied in obstetrics. Scholars have conducted numerous studies on maternal hyperoxygenation and have reported many theoretical and applied achievements and a number of different points of view. The main purpose of this article is to discuss the effect of maternal oxygenation on fetal circulation during normal and complicated pregnancies and to ascertain its potential side effects and research gaps in this field. In complicated pregnancies, the fetus may benefit from oxygen therapy. However, large randomized controlled trials and longitudinal studies are necessary to support the widespread application of maternal oxygenation in this context.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Maternal hyperoxygenation effects on fetal cerebral hemodynamics are largely unknown. This study aimed to determine efficacy and reliability of a validated power Doppler ultrasound (US) index, fractional moving blood volume (FMBV), at measuring fetal cerebral vasculature changes during maternal hyperoxia. METHODS The fetal cerebral effects of 10 min of hyperoxygenation at 2 flow rates (52%/60% FiO2) were evaluated in women in their third trimester of pregnancy. 2D-US and 3D-US in a transverse plane were performed before, during, and following maternal hyperoxygenation with FMBV estimation performed offline. RESULTS Forty-five cases provided data for analysis. Mean intraobserver ICCs were 0.89 (3D-FMBV) and 0.84 (2D-FMBV). A significant difference in vascularity before and during and before and after 60% hyperoxia was observed (p < 0.05), whereas no significant differences were found at 52% hyperoxia (p > 0.05). Significant differences in vascularity were found between 2D-FMBV and 3D-FMBV (p < 0.01). CONCLUSION Measurement of fetal cerebral vascularity by 3D-FMBV and 2D-FMBV was highly reproducible. The differing cerebral vascular changes seen with 60% but not 52% FiO2 suggest a possible "threshold effect" that may have influenced prior studies. Further studies are needed to assess cerebral effects of maternal hyperoxygenation on compromised fetuses.

Br J Anaesth 2020; 126:622-632. [PMID: 33246583 PMCID: PMC8014946 DOI: 10.1016/j.bja.2020.09.050] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/03/2020] [Revised: 08/25/2020] [Accepted: 09/05/2020] [Indexed: 11/25/2022] Open
Abstract
Background The fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) administered during general anaesthesia varies widely despite international recommendations to administer FiO2 0.8 to all anaesthetised patients to reduce surgical site infections (SSIs). Anaesthetists remain concerned that high FiO2 administration intraoperatively may increase harm, possibly through increased oxidative damage and inflammation, resulting in more complications and worse outcomes. In previous systematic reviews associations between FiO2 and SSIs have been inconsistent, but none have examined how FiO2 affects perioperative oxidative stress. We aimed to address this uncertainty by reviewing the available literature. Methods EMBASE, MEDLINE, and Cochrane databases were searched from inception to March 9, 2020 for RCTs comparing higher with lower perioperative FiO2 and quantifying oxidative stress in adults undergoing noncardiac surgery. Candidate studies were independently screened by two reviewers and references hand-searched. Methodological quality was assessed using the Cochrane Collaboration Risk of Bias tool. Results From 19 438 initial results, seven trials (n=422) were included. Four studies reported markers of oxidative stress during Caesarean section (n=328) and three reported oxidative stress during elective colon surgery (n=94). Risk of bias was low (four studies) to moderate (three studies). Pooled results suggested high FiO2 was associated with greater malondialdehyde, protein-carbonyl concentrations and reduced xanthine oxidase concentrations, together with reduced antioxidant markers such as superoxide dismutase and total sulfhydryl levels although total antioxidant status was unchanged. Conclusions Higher FiO2 may be associated with elevated oxidative stress during surgery. However, limited studies have specifically reported biomarkers of oxidation. Given the current clinical controversy concerning perioperative oxygen therapy, further research is urgently needed in this area.
