Maternal hyperoxygenation (MHO) consists of giving pregnant women (60% to 100%) oxygen through a facemask and using ultrasound assess or monitor the influence on fetal cardiovascular circulation. This review discusses the findings and the utility of acute and chronic MHO in various fetal diseases.

Background: Newborns with transposition of the great arteries (TGA) are at risk of severe hypoxia from inadequate atrial mixing, closure of the arterial duct and/or pulmonary hypertension (PPHN). Acute maternal hyperoxygenation (AMH) might assist in identifying at-risk fetuses. We report pulmonary vasoreactivity to AMH in TGA fetuses and its relationship to early postnatal hypoxia and requirement for emergency balloon atrial septostomy (e-BAS).

Objective: Predicting whether postnatal balloon atrial septostomy (BAS) will be necessary for fetuses with dextro-transposition of the great arteries (d-TGA) remains challenging. We sought to determine whether fetal echocardiographic measurements obtained during maternal hyperoxygenation (MH) can improve our ability to predict the need for postnatal BAS.
Methods: This was a retrospective, single-institution review of d-TGA fetuses whose mothers had undergone MH at 33-38 weeks' gestation at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, between 1 January 2017 and 30 March 2020.

The field of fetal cardiology has evolved significantly in recent years. This review focuses on specific advances in fetal cardiac imaging and intervention that are increasingly used in clinical practice. On the imaging frontier, updated screening guidelines and artificial intelligence hold promise for improving prenatal detection of congenital heart disease.
