Plain-language summary
The objective of our study is to evaluate the effect of CPAP on umbilical cord acid base status in morbidly obese women at the time of scheduled cesarean delivery. We hypothesize that neonates born to mothers wearing CPAP during the cesarean section will have a higher umbilical artery pH.
