The effects on maternal oxygen saturation, foetal wellbeing and umbilical blood gases were compared when parturients received either 30 or 50% oxygen prior to delivery by Caesarean section under general anaesthesia. Maternal arterial oxygen saturation was significantly increased in the group receiving 50% oxygen. There was no difference between the two groups in terms of Apgar score minus colour, time to sustained respiration or umbilical cord blood gas estimations. The use of 30% inspired oxygen during uncomplicated Caesarean section is advocated.
