Sulaiman SP, Jha N, Bethou A, Nandeeha H, Jha AK. Effect of maternal hyperoxygenation on neonatal outcomes among women in labour with pathological cardiotocography: an open-label randomized controlled trial. Am J Obstet Gynecol 2024; 230:454.e1-454.e11. [PMID: 37778675 DOI: 10.1016/j.ajog.2023.09.093] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/19/2023] [Revised: 09/21/2023] [Accepted: 09/23/2023] [Indexed: 10/03/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Hyperoxygenation has shown promise in improving suspicious fetal heart patterns in women in labor. However, the effect of hyperoxygenation on neonatal outcomes in women in labor with pathologic fetal heart rate tracing has not been studied. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to evaluate the effect of fractional inspiration of oxygen of 80% compared with fractional inspiration of oxygen of 40% on neonatal outcomes in women with pathologic fetal heart rate tracing. STUDY DESIGN This randomized, open-label, parallel arm, outcome assessor-blinded clinical trial was conducted in a large tertiary care university hospital. Singleton parturients aged ≥18 years at term gestation in active labor (cervical dilatation of ≥6 cm) with pathologic fetal heart rate tracing were recruited in the study. Pathologic fetal heart rate tracing was defined according to the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics 2015 guidelines. The International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics classifies fetal heart rate tracings into 3 categories (normal, suspicious, and pathologic) based on rate, variability, and deceleration. Women in the intervention arm received oxygen at 10 L/min via a nonrebreathing mask, and those in the usual care arm received oxygen at 6 L/min with a simple face mask. Oxygen supplementation was continued until cord clamping. The primary outcome measure was a 5-minute Apgar score. The secondary outcome measures were the proportion of neonatal intensive care unit admission, umbilical cord blood gas variables, level of methyl malondialdehyde in the cord blood, and mode of delivery. RESULTS Overall, 148 women (74 women in the high fractional inspiration of oxygen arm and 74 in the low fractional inspiration of oxygen arm) with pathologic fetal heart rate tracing were analyzed. The demographic data, obstetrical profiles, and comorbidities were comparable. The median 5-minute Apgar scores were 9 (interquartile range, 8-10) in the hyperoxygenation arm and 9 (interquartile range, 8-10) in the usual care arm (P=.12). Furthermore, the rate of neonatal intensive care unit admission (9.5% vs 12.2%; P=.6) and the requirement of positive pressure ventilation (6.8% vs 8.1%; P=.75) were comparable. Concerning cord blood gas parameters, the hyperoxygenation arm had a significantly higher base deficit in the umbilical vein and lactate level in the umbilical artery. The cesarean delivery rate was significantly lower in women who received hyperoxygenation (4.1% [3/74]) than in women who received normal oxygen supplementation (25.7% [19/74]) (P=.00). In addition, umbilical vein malondialdehyde level in the umbilical vein was lower in the hyperoxygenation group (8.28±4.65 μmol/L) than in the normal oxygen supplementation group (13.44±8.34 μmol/L) (P=.00). CONCLUSION Hyperoxygenation did not improve the neonatal Apgar score in women with pathologic fetal heart rate tracing. In addition, neonatal intensive care unit admission rate and blood gas parameters remained comparable. Therefore, the results of this trial suggest that a high fractional inspiration of oxygen supplementation confers no benefit on neonatal outcomes in women with pathologic fetal heart rate tracings and normal oxygen saturation.

Abstract
Emerging communication technologies have seen the proliferation of misleading claims, untruthful narratives, and conspiracies. To understand how people perceive and act on different types of misinformation, this study examines how health misinformation varying in falsity (fabrication versus misuse) and evidence type (statistical versus narrative) affects sharing and verification intentions. Using COVID-19 vaccines as cases, the results from an online experiment showed that misused misinformation was perceived as less false than fabricated misinformation and resulted in higher sharing intentions for the issue of vaccine efficacy. Misinformation with narrative evidence, as compared to that with statistical evidence, was perceived as less false and led to lower verification intentions. These findings can be explained by psychological processes such as counterarguing and narrative engagement. Our results can help practitioners develop dedicated misinformation literacy programs.

Abstract
For obvious reasons, in vivo measurements of placental oxygenation are extremely rare and hence, scientists need to focus on the few studies that revealed at least some data on the topic. The scarcity of real in vivo data resulted in the development of hypotheses on placental oxygenation that blocked an objective view on the topic for decades. Only now, new hypotheses are emerging adding new views and ideas on the topic. Especially in the field of preeclampsia, hypotheses on placental oxygenation have mislead a whole generation of scientists. This review article displays the available in vivo placental oxygen data from 8 to 40 weeks of gestation. It also compares these physiological oxygen concentrations, called physioxia, with the situation in pre-placental hypoxia, i.e. pregnancies at high altitude. Finally, it summarizes what we know today about oxygen measurements in cases with preeclampsia. In early-onset preeclampsia cases, all in vivo data available today point to increased oxygen values in the intervillous space of the placenta. This is due to a reduced oxygen transfer of the placental barrier from maternal to fetal blood, resulting in hypoxia of fetal blood and the fetus.

Abstract
Objective The aim of the study is to assess the effect of maternal prolonged oxygen exposure during labor on fetal acid-base status, fetal heart rate tracings, and umbilical cord arterial metabolites. Design The study was conducted as a secondary analysis. Settings The study was set in three tertiary teaching hospitals in Beijing, China. Participants Approximately 140 women in the latent phase of labor with no complications participated in the study. Intervention Participants were randomly allocated in a 1:1 ratio to receive either 10 L of oxygen per minute in a tight-fitting simple facemask until delivery or room air only. Main outcome measures The primary outcome was the umbilical cord arterial lactate. Results Baseline demographics and labor outcomes were similar between the oxygen and room air groups; the time from randomization to delivery was 322 ± 147 min. There were no differences between the two groups in the umbilical cord arterial lactate (mean difference 0.3 mmol/L, 95% confidence interval -0.2 to 0.9), the number of participants with high-risk category II fetal heart rate tracings (relative risk 0.94, 95% confidence interval 0.68 to 1.32), or the duration of those high-risk tracings (mean difference 3.6 min, 95% confidence interval -9.3 to 16.4). Prolonged oxygen exposure significantly altered 91 umbilical cord arterial metabolites, and these alterations did not appear to be related to oxidative stress. Conclusion Maternal prolonged oxygen exposure during labor did not affect either the umbilical cord arterial lactate or high-risk category II fetal heart rate tracings but might result in alterations to the umbilical cord arterial metabolic profile.

Abstract
Preterm birth is a risk factor for cardiometabolic disease. The preterm heart before terminal differentiation is in a phase that is crucial for the number and structure of cardiomyocytes in further development, with adverse effects of hypoxic and hyperoxic events. Pharmacological intervention could attenuate the negative effects of oxygen. Dexmedetomidine (DEX) is an α2-adrenoceptor agonist and has been mentioned in connection with cardio-protective benefits. In this study, H9c2 myocytes and primary fetal rat cardiomyocytes (NRCM) were cultured for 24 h under hypoxic condition (5% O2), corresponding to fetal physioxia (pO2 32-45 mmHg), ambient oxygen (21% O2, pO2 ~150 mmHg), or hyperoxic conditions (80% O2, pO2 ~300 mmHg). Subsequently, the effects of DEX preconditioning (0.1 µM, 1 µM, 10 µM) were analyzed. Modulated oxygen tension reduced both proliferating cardiomyocytes and transcripts (CycD2). High-oxygen tension induced hypertrophy in H9c2 cells. Cell-death-associated transcripts for caspase-dependent apoptosis (Casp3/8) increased, whereas caspase-independent transcripts (AIF) increased in H9c2 cells and decreased in NRCMs. Autophagy-related mediators (Atg5/12) were induced in H9c2 under both oxygen conditions, whereas they were downregulated in NRCMs. DEX preconditioning protected H9c2 and NRCMs from oxidative stress through inhibition of transcription of the oxidative stress marker GCLC, and inhibited the transcription of both the redox-sensitive transcription factors Nrf2 under hyperoxia and Hif1α under hypoxia. In addition, DEX normalized the gene expression of Hippo-pathway mediators (YAP1, Tead1, Lats2, Cul7) that exhibited abnormalities due to differential oxygen tensions compared with normoxia, suggesting that DEX modulates the activation of the Hippo pathway. This, in the context of the protective impact of redox-sensitive factors, may provide a possible rationale for the cardio-protective effects of DEX in oxygen-modulated requirements on survival-promoting transcripts of immortalized and fetal cardiomyocytes.

Abstract
Purpose of Review This review aims to summarize the current evidence regarding maternal oxygen supplementation for Category II fetal heart tracings (FHT) in labor. We aim to evaluate the theoretical rationale for oxygen administration, the clinical efficacy of supplemental oxygen, and the potential risks. Recent Findings Maternal oxygen supplementation is an intrauterine resuscitation technique rooted in the theoretic rationale that hyperoxygenating the mother results in increased oxygen transfer to the fetus. However, recent data suggest otherwise. Randomized controlled trials on the efficacy of oxygen supplementation in labor suggest no improvement in umbilical cord gases or other adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes compared to room air. Two meta-analyses demonstrated that oxygen supplementation is not associated with an improvement in umbilical artery pH or reduction in cesarean delivery. Although we lack data on definitive clinical neonatal outcomes with this practice, there is some suggestion of adverse neonatal outcomes with excess in utero oxygen exposure, including lower umbilical artery pH. Summary Despite historic data suggesting the benefit of maternal oxygen supplementation in increasing fetal oxygenation, recent randomized trials and meta-analyses have demonstrated a lack of efficacy of this practice and some suggestion of harm. This has led to conflicting national guidelines. Further research is needed on short- and long-term neonatal clinical outcomes following prolonged intrauterine oxygen exposure.

Abstract
The early life environment can have profound impacts on the developing conceptus in terms of both growth and morphogenesis. These impacts can manifest in a variety of ways, including congenital fetal anomalies, placental dysfunction with subsequent effects on fetal growth, and adverse perinatal outcomes, or via effects on long-term health outcomes that may not be detected until later childhood or adulthood. Two key examples of environmental influences on early development are explored: maternal hyperglycaemia and gestational hypoxia. These are increasingly common pregnancy exposures worldwide, with potentially profound impacts on population health. We explore what is known regarding the mechanisms by which these environmental exposures can impact early intrauterine development and thus result in adverse outcomes in the immediate, short, and long term.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Oxygen (O2) is a drug with specific biochemical and physiological properties, a range of effective doses and may have side effects. In 2015, 14% of over 55,000 hospital patients in the UK were using oxygen. 42% of patients received this supplemental oxygen without a valid prescription. Health care professionals are frequently uncertain about the relevance of hypoxemia and have low awareness about the risks of hyperoxemia. Numerous randomized controlled trials about targets of oxygen therapy have been published in recent years. A national guideline is urgently needed. METHODS A national S3 guideline was developed and published within the Program for National Disease Management Guidelines (AWMF) with participation of 10 medical associations. A literature search was performed until February 1, 2021, to answer 10 key questions. The Oxford Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine (CEBM) System ("The Oxford 2011 Levels of Evidence") was used to classify types of studies in terms of validity. Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) was used for assessing the quality of evidence and for grading guideline recommendation, and a formal consensus-building process was performed. RESULTS The guideline includes 34 evidence-based recommendations about indications, prescription, monitoring and discontinuation of oxygen therapy in acute care. The main indication for O2 therapy is hypoxemia. In acute care both hypoxemia and hyperoxemia should be avoided. Hyperoxemia also seems to be associated with increased mortality, especially in patients with hypercapnia. The guideline provides recommended target oxygen saturation for acute medicine without differentiating between diagnoses. Target ranges for oxygen saturation are based depending on ventilation status risk for hypercapnia. The guideline provides an overview of available oxygen delivery systems and includes recommendations for their selection based on patient safety and comfort. CONCLUSION This is the first national guideline on the use of oxygen in acute care. It addresses health care professionals using oxygen in acute out-of-hospital and in-hospital settings.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION MR relaxometry has been used to assess placental exchange function, but methods to date are not sufficiently fast to be robust to placental motion. Magnetic resonance fingerprinting (MRF) permits rapid, voxel-wise, intrinsically co-registered T1 and T2 mapping. After characterizing measurement error, we scanned pregnant women during air and oxygen breathing to demonstrate MRF's ability to detect placental oxygenation changes. METHODS The accuracy of FISP-based, sliding-window reconstructed MRF was tested on phantoms. MRF scans in 9-s breath holds were acquired at 3T in 31 pregnant women during air and oxygen breathing. A mixed effects model was used to test for changes in placenta relaxation times between physiological states, to assess the dependency on gestational age (GA), and the impact of placental motion. RESULTS MRF estimates of known phantom relaxation times resulted in mean absolute errors for T1 of 92 ms (4.8%), but T2 was less accurate at 16 ms (13.6%). During normoxia, placental T1 = 1825 ± 141 ms (avg ± standard deviation) and T2 = 60 ± 16 ms (gestational age range 24.3-36.7, median 32.6 weeks). In the statistical model, placental T2 rose and T1 remained contant after hyperoxia, and no GA dependency was observed for T1 or T2. DISCUSSION Well-characterized, motion-robust MRF was used to acquire T1 and T2 maps of the placenta. Changes with hyperoxia are consistent with a net increase in oxygen saturation. Toward the goal of whole-placenta quantitative oxygenation imaging over time, we aim to implement 3D MRF with integrated motion correction to improve T2 accuracy.
