Gentle oxygen monitoring for premature babies
This study tests a new soft monitor that uses light to check oxygen levels in your baby's belly, without needles or blood draws. It could help doctors keep a gentle watch on your baby's oxygen levels and find problems early.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Your baby was born before 35 weeks of pregnancy.
- Your baby is medically stable enough to take part.
- Your baby's belly skin is healthy — no irritation, wounds, or bruises.

This study uses a special light sensor (called NIRS) placed on your baby's skin to check how well blood and oxygen are reaching their organs during a blood transfusion. The goal is to see if the transfusion safely improves oxygen levels in preterm babies, which may help doctors care for them better.
This trial uses a special monitor to check oxygen levels in the brain of very premature babies. It aims to see if low oxygen affects kidney health.
This trial tests a new type of oxygen monitor (pulse oximeter) in babies under 1 year old. It helps doctors better track oxygen levels in critically ill infants to improve care.
This trial tests whether using a remote oxygen monitor at home can help prevent ER visits and re-hospitalization for infants leaving the NICU. It aims to see if this simple device can provide extra safety and peace of mind for families.
This study checks how well a new Owlet sensor measures oxygen levels in newborns. It is for babies who already have an arterial line in place for routine blood tests.
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.
