[Fetal arterial oxygen saturation (FSpO2) during the second stage of labor after training for childbirth].
OBJECTIVE
The aim of the research was to determine the effects of participating in training program for childbirth in Maternity School in Lódź on the state of the fetus. In the above research, the authors presented the foetal oxygen saturation (FSpO2) during the second stage of labour among the women participating in Maternity School as well as a control group. Our study analysed the neonatal outcome too (umbilical arterial blood pH and 5 min. Apgar score).


METHODS
The test group consisted of eighty seven (87) healthy primigravidas of whom forty two (42) participated in classes in the Maternity School and forty fifth (45) made up the control group. Validity of the correlation was assessed by means of t-Student's table of N--2 degree of freedom.


RESULTS
The medium parameters of FSpO2 values and duration of the second stage of labor in both groups were shown. Statistically significant differences between the groups were found in duration the second stage of labour--in Maternity School group being shorter. Statistically significant differences in FSpO2 values between groups were not observed.
