Measuring oxygen use in newborns with breathing trouble
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at how well oxygen is being used by the body in newborns who are having breathing problems, from birth through the first hours of life. It also studies whether infection plays a role, which may help doctors better understand and treat newborn breathing trouble.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby is under 6 hours old when joining the study
- Your baby currently shows breathing trouble (fast breathing, grunting, chest pulling in, flaring nostrils, or needing extra oxygen/respiratory support)
- The medical team has decided your baby will receive full life support
- A parent or legal guardian can give written consent for the study
- Your baby was born at 30 weeks or more (not earlier than 30+0 weeks)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests whether giving a specific oxygen concentration at birth helps late-preterm babies who need breathing support. It aims to find the best oxygen level to improve outcomes.
This study tests a special sensor that can be placed inside the umbilical catheter to keep a constant watch on oxygen levels in critically ill newborns. It may help doctors make faster and more informed decisions without extra blood draws.
This study tests a simple non-invasive score that uses blood flow in muscles to predict if a newborn has or will develop high inflammation levels (C-reactive protein). It may help doctors start treatment earlier in babies with breathing problems.
This study compares two ways of giving oxygen and breathing support to newborns in the NICU. It may help find which device works best for very small babies who still need significant oxygen.
This study looks at how different levels of CPAP (a breathing machine that helps keep the lungs open) affect oxygen delivery and lung expansion in preterm babies. It may help doctors understand the best settings for infants who need breathing support.
This trial studies whether giving 30% versus 60% oxygen during early resuscitation (breathing support) affects brain and nerve development in very low birthweight, very preterm infants. If you/your baby fits the birth and care timing requirements, the goal is to find an oxygen approach that supports better long-term outcomes.
