OBJECTIVES: To compare the effect of delivering early to pre-empt terminal hypoxaemia
with delaying for as long as possible to increase maturity. DESIGN: A randomised controlled

recorded and clinical uncertainty whether immediate delivery was indicated. METHODS:
The interventions were 'immediate delivery'or 'delay until the obstetrician is no longer�…
