Summary

The objective of this study is to determine if a strategy of indicated compared to liberal oxygen administration in labor decreases the rate of cesarean delivery. The hypothesis is that women who undergo a strategy of indicated compared to liberal oxygen administration in labor will have lower rate of cesarean delivery and fetal acidemia at birth.
