Cord resuscitation approach for babies with diaphragmatic hernia
Part of Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study looks at a specific way to support a newborn’s breathing right after birth when they have congenital diaphragmatic hernia (a birth condition affecting the diaphragm). If you qualify, the team will compare their resuscitation approach to standard care to see if it helps babies in the delivery room.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby has a prenatal (antenatal) diagnosis of congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH).
- Your pregnancy is full term, more than 36 weeks.
- There are no other severe birth defects or chromosome (genetic) conditions.
- You are not participating in another pregnancy/antenatal study at the same time.
- You can provide written consent for the study (with any needed language support).

This study compares a gentle way of clamping the umbilical cord after birth in babies with a diaphragmatic hernia. The goal is to see if this approach improves the baby's oxygen levels and reduces the need for breathing support.
This is an observational study that follows babies and children with congenital diaphragm hernia (CDH) to learn more about their health and care over time. It may help doctors better understand which factors affect outcomes.
This study looks at placing a small balloon in a baby’s windpipe before birth to help severe congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH). The goal is to improve lung growth and birth outcomes by testing whether this timing and method can help babies with the most severe cases.
This trial tests whether placing a tiny balloon in the fetus’s windpipe can help lungs develop and improve severe pulmonary (lung) blood pressure in babies with severe congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH). It may lower the chance of breathing and circulation problems after birth, but it requires a specialized procedure and close follow-up in Houston.
This study uses a special ultrasound (elastography) to look at the diaphragm in children with a congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) and compare it to children without diaphragm problems. The goal is to better understand the diaphragm's health after CDH repair.
This trial tests a procedure called FETO (fetoscopic endoluminal tracheal occlusion) performed during pregnancy to help babies with congenital diaphragmatic hernia—a birth defect where part of the diaphragm (breathing muscle) has a hole and organs from the belly move into the chest. The procedure temporarily blocks the baby's windpipe to help the lungs grow bigger before birth.
