What this trial studies

This observational study aims to enhance perinatal care by developing new methods for assessing fetal and neonatal heart health. It focuses on identifying high-risk deliveries to reduce the incidence of perinatal asphyxia and related complications. The study employs innovative technology to monitor cardiovascular transitions in a larger population of fetuses and newborns than previously possible. Additionally, it includes an obstetric arm that investigates the relationship between maternal oxygenation and neonatal outcomes during labor.
