Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Mother: - alcohol or drug abuse - multiple pregnancy - adipositas permagna (BMI>40) - diabetes melllitus, insulin-dependent - obstetrical issues (e.g. Cervix uteri <25mm, premature contractions, preeclampsia, eclampsia, HELLP Syndrome, …) - fetus impossible to evaluate by echocardiography - patholog. utero-placental resistance - cardiac failure (NYHA III/IV or decompensated) - severe COPD, hypercapnia Fetus: - underlying disease or chromosomal abnormality which might influence the effect of MFHO - hemodynamic factors with influence on filling/emptying of the left heart which might affect MFHO efficacy - fetal cardiac failure - Hydrops fetalis - severe growth retardation - no flow in A. umbilicalis - severe extracardiac malformations - visit 2: inadequate response to O2 provocation during echocardiography

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: Evidence of efficacy of materno-fetal hyperoxygenation (MFHO) during the third trimester of pregnancy on growth of underdeveloped fetal left ventricular structures;Secondary Objective: Evaluation of - safety of MFHO during late pregnancy for mother/child - Impact of MFHO during late pregnancy on infant development post partum - Impact of MFHO during late pregnancy on fetal brain development - Impact of MFHO during late pregnancy on infant brain development - Impact of MFHO during late pregnancy on nature and frequency of cardiac surgery and catheter interventions in infants ;Primary end point(s): median change of the sum of the Z-scores of the initially chosen echocardiographic fetal heart structures under O2 provocation at the time point PW35d0 (+/- 2 days) compared to the initial values on PW32d0 (+/- 2 days) under O2 provocation.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: PW35d0 (+/- 2 days) compared to PW32d0 (+/- 2 days)

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): - number of maternal AE and SAE - number of fetal /newborn AE and SAE - number of maternal AR and SAR - number of fetal /newborn AR and SAR - neurological development of the child - head growth intrauterine and postnatal - option of biventricular correction of the cardiac defect (y/n) - univentricular palliation necessary (y/n) - aortic coarctation requiring treatment (y/n) - nature and number of postnatal cardiosurgical interventions - nature and number of postnatal catheter interventions - occurence of retinopathy - occurence or periventricular leucomalacia;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: AE/SAE: from visit 2 until visit 7 all others: from visit 2 until visit 10 (EOS)
