Two-thirds of women in labor receive supplemental oxygen to reverse perceived fetal hypoxemia and prevent acidemia. Oxygen is routinely administered for category II fetal heart tracings, a class of fetal tracing used to designate intermediate risk for acidemia. This liberal use of oxygen may not be beneficial, particularly because neonatal hyperoxygenation is harmful.
