Current methods of monitoring the well-being of the unborn baby during labour often result in concern about the unborn baby's health. This leads to delivery by caesarean section, forceps , or vacuum. These babies are usually found to be healthy once born, meaning that the operation was unnecessry. In this study, when an unborn baby appears to be distressed, half of the study participants will be allocated to continue with the current monitororing of the baby's heartbeat. The other half will have a new form of monitoring in labour, fetal oxgyen saturation monitoring, added. We will then determine whether the new form of monitoring makes a differnce in the number of times women need to have a caesarean section, forceps, or vacuum delivery. It is important to do this research BEFORE the new form of monitoring becomes used routinely. This Australian research is leading the world in letting the health consumer (women) know whether the new monitoring method is effective in practice and ensuring that there are no unforeseen adverse events.

目前在分娩期间监测未出生婴儿的健康的方法经常导致对未出生婴儿的健康的担忧。这导致剖腹产，产钳，或真空分娩。这些婴儿通常被发现是健康的，一旦出生，这意味着手术是不必要的。在这项研究中，当一个未出生的婴儿似乎是痛苦的，一半的研究参与者将被分配到继续目前的监测婴儿的心跳。另一半将有一种新的分娩监测形式，胎儿血氧饱和度监测，补充说。然后，我们将确定新的监测形式是否会在妇女需要进行剖腹产、产钳或真空分娩的次数上产生差异。在这种新的监测形式成为常规使用之前，进行这项研究是很重要的。澳大利亚的这项研究在让健康消费者（女性）了解新的监测方法在实践中是否有效并确保没有不可预见的不良事件方面处于世界领先地位。
