TL;DR
Acute short-term hypoxia modifies the maternal circulation, suggesting redistribution of maternal blood flow, but exerts no detectable effects on the healthy fetus.
Abstract
Acute short-term hypoxia modifies the maternal circulation, suggesting redistribution of maternal blood flow, but exerts no detectable effects on the healthy fetus. Maternal hyperoxygenation induces no apparent adverse effects.

507 Citations1979Louis L.H. Peeters, Roger E. Sheldon +3 more
In a sheep preparation the blood flow to fetal organs was studied 3 to 10 days after surgery by means of the microsphere technique over a range of fetal arterial O2 content from 6 to 1 mM, and the arterial supply of O2 to these organs tended to remain constant over the O2 range studied.

It has been interesting to observe how rarely the basal FHR changes in fetuses suffering progressive respiratory insufficiency, and how extreme tachycardia tends to reflect other fetal problems such as infection or maternal pyrexia.

Humidified oxygen was administered continuously through a face mask to 5 patients whose pregnancies were all complicated by severe intrauterine growth retardation, oligohydramnios, high blood-flow impedance in the fetal aorta and umbilical artery, and low mean blood-velocity in the Fetal Thoracic Aorta.
American Journal of Obstetrics and GynecologyA longitudinal study of respiratory changes in normal human pregnancy with cross-sectional data on subjects with pregnancy-induced hypertension
85 Citations1990Gareth B. Rees, Fiona Broughton Pipkin +2 more
Fourteen subjects with pregnancy-induced hypertension studied cross-sectionally failed to show any difference in the respiratory variables measured when compared with normotensive subjects at a similar length of gestation.

The fetal heart rate (FHR) response to acute nonacidemic hypoxemia and to acute respiratory acidosis was studied in unanesthetized pregnant monkeys by means of chronically implanted catheters and electrodes.

34 Citations1994Z. Arfeen, Peter Armstrong +1 more
There was little difference in the number of hypoxic episodes experienced by either group although their mean duration and severity was greater in the Entonox group, and women in labour who inhale Ent onox have an appreciable incidence of arterial desaturation.

34 Citations1989P.N. REED, A. D. Colquhoun +1 more
Arterial oxyhaemoglobin saturation was monitored continuously during normal labour in 33 healthy parturients receiving pethidine and nitrous oxide for analgesia and two women had multiple episodes of profound hypoxia with SaO2 less than 70%.

Results indicate that quantitative delivery of O 2 to the placenta was of paramount importance as a determinant of O2 transfer to the fetus and are compatible with a "concurrent flow" model of transplacental O2 diffusion.

The human fetus seems not to compensate for alterations in oxygen delivery and reduced IVBF after maternal oxygen inhalation, by means of changes in UVBF.

The resistance index (RI) did not change in those vessels during maternal hyperoxygenation with one exception: in the group of SGA fetuses the RI in the fetal aorta increased significantly.

The relationship between the ratio femoral pulsatility index (PI)/umbilical PI and arterial oxygen content was examined in 8 fetal sheep at various stages of hypoxemia, and data suggest that the degree of change in fetal mean arterial pressure considerably depends on the degree-of-change in vascular resistance in the fetal carcass.
