Fetal distresss causes fetal hypoxia so that the fetus requires immediate oxygen supply. Objective: to determine the characteristics of the respondents, fetal heart rate before and after administration of oxygen, the effect of giving oxygen to in-partum patients with fetal distress at Panti Nugroho Hospital, Purbalingga. Method: using a pre-experimental design type of one group pretest posttest. The research sample was pregnant women in childbirth with fetal distress by accidental sampling technique, namely 30 respondents. Observation sheet containing mother's identity, mother's pregnancy status, gestational age and FHR value before and after administration of oxygen. Data analysis used bivariate analysis, namely the Wilcoxon test. Results: 20% showed an improvement in fetal heart rate of 10-20 beats/minute, 46% had an improvement in fetal heart rate of 20-30 beats/minute, while 33.3% had an improvement in fetal heart rate of more than 30 beats/minute. There is an effect of giving 4 liters/minute of oxygen to inpartu patients with fetal distress with a p value of 0.00 (p>0.05). Conclusion: Administration of nasal cannula oxygen 4 liters/minute can affect the fetal heart rate. Key words: labor, administration of oxygen, fetal distress]]>
