Objective: Our purpose was to examine regulatory linkages between fetal oxygenation and
fetal and placental growth. We determined umbilical cord PO2 and oxygen saturation,
fractional oxygen extraction, and birth to placental weight ratio values in relation to size at
birth for a large tertiary hospital population delivering at term. Study Design: The
computerized perinatal database of St Joseph's Health Care London, London, Ontario, was
used to obtain the umbilical cord gases, pH, birth weight, placental weight, and other …
