Brief Summary

FAME-n aims to improve perinatal care by introducing new approaches to fetal and neonatal heart assessment. Better identification of high-risk deliveries requiring intervention will reduce perinatal asphyxia-related illness and death. Neonatal hemodynamics may be improved by early detection of instability of the heart and circulation. Innovative use of technology enables characterization of normal and abnormal cardiovascular transition in a significantly larger number of fetuses and newborn infants than what was previously possible. The methods used may have broad generalizability and applicability in perinatal, neonatal and pediatric medicine. In September 2023, the project was expanded with an obstetric arm called Epidural analgesia: Fetal Oxygenation and Maternal Oxygenation (Epi-FOMO). In Epi-FOMO, the relationship between maternal breathing and arterial blood gases during labour, and umbilical cord blood gases and neonatal outcomes (as specified in FAME-n) will be investigated.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria: Women admitted for labor and newborn infants will be included after written consent from both parents (if applicable). The final inclusion criterion is that CTG with STAN is used for fetal surveillance at clinician's discretion. Exclusion Criteria: Perinatal asphyxia fulfilling the criteria for therapeutic hypothermia, major malformations and stillbirth, known chromosomal anomalies or congenital heart defects other than a patent ductus arteriosus.
