OBJECTIVE: The objective of the study was to compare operative delivery rates for
nonreassuring fetal status between 2 groups of laboring women: those having conventional
cardiotocograph monitoring and those having cardiotocograph monitoring plus fetal pulse
oximetry. STUDY DESIGN: The intrapartum fetal oximetry prospective, multicenter,
randomized, controlled trial (the FOREMOST trial) was conducted in 4 Australian maternity
hospitals. The primary outcome was operative birth rates for nonreassuring fetal status …
