Cardiac arrest occurred in about one in every 9,000 delivery hospitalizations from 2017 to 2019 in the United States, and about seven in 10 women survived the event, according to the results published in Annals of Internal Medicine.

Although maternal oxygen supplementation during labor and delivery is common to prevent hypoxia and acidemia in the fetus, it may be unnecessary, according to research published in JAMA Pediatrics.
