Comparative StudyThe effect on fetal arteriolar oxygen saturation resulting from giving oxygen to the mother measured by pulse oximetry.
To determine if pulse oximetry could detect any changes in fetal arteriolar oxygen saturation resulting from maternal administration of oxygen. ⋯ This study confirms that a pulse oximeter is able to measure an increase in fetal arteriolar oxygen saturation when oxygen is administered to the mother.

Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical TrialVaginal delivery after previous caesarean section: is X-ray pelvimetry necessary?
To determine whether antepartum X-ray pelvimetry (XRP) reliably identified women suitable for a trial labour or repeat elective caesarean section after one previous section. ⋯ Antepartum XRP is not necessary prior to a trial labour in women with one previous caesarean section. It increases the caesarean section rate and is a poor predictor of the outcome of labour.
