Monitoring oxygen and brain signals during major newborn surgery
Part of Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study checks how well newborn babies’ brains are getting oxygen and how brain activity changes while they have certain major surgeries. It may help doctors better monitor brain safety during surgery in newborns with specific conditions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby must be a newborn up to 60 weeks after due date (post-menstrual age) on surgery day
- Your baby must be having a major surgery for specific birth-related conditions
- The surgery must be for one of these: congenital abdominal/GI problems, certain lung cysts, EF/TEF, or certain spinal birth defects
- A parent or legal guardian must give permission for the study
- Your baby may be able to join again if they have another qualifying surgery

This Phase 3 study tests ways to protect brain health in newborns who are very premature or recently born and need a breathing machine through a tube. It may help reduce the risk of brain injury while they receive intensive care.
This study tests whether using special brain-monitoring devices during anesthesia can help reduce confusion and agitation that sometimes happens after surgery in children ages 1–6. The goal is to improve recovery by helping doctors manage anesthesia more precisely.
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.
This study uses a special brainwave monitor on newborn babies who may have had a difficult birth or low oxygen levels. The goal is to see if this monitor can help doctors find babies who need extra care.
This study is testing a new wireless device that monitors oxygen levels in the brain. It is for babies already using a similar wired monitor, to see if the wireless version works just as well.
This study is testing a method to monitor oxygen levels in tissue and blood during major surgery. Researchers want to see if this can help doctors better understand how the body is coping during the operation, which might lead to improved patient care.
