Oxycodone does not affect placental circulatory physiology during the early first stage of labor—A randomized trial

Oxycodone did not have any detrimental effect on either utero- or fetoplacental circulatory physiology during the early first stage of labor. Maternal plasma oxycodone did not correlate with utero- and fetoplacental hemodynamics. No correlation was found between newborn oxycodone concentration and fetoplacental hemodynamics.
