Extra oxygen during labor to support the baby
Part of Genetic & congenital, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial studies whether giving extra oxygen to the pregnant person during labor helps the baby during “intrauterine resuscitation,” when monitoring suggests the baby needs support. It may help babies recover better while still in the womb, especially during continuous fetal monitoring.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are pregnant with one baby (singleton pregnancy).
- You are at 37 weeks or more.
- You are in spontaneous labor or being induced.
- You plan to have continuous fetal heart monitoring during labor.
- You can speak English or Spanish.
- You are not expected to have a planned/scheduled C-section for this birth.

This study tests a new device that measures oxygen levels in babies during labor. It may help doctors monitor your baby's health more closely if you are in labor and have an epidural.
This trial tests whether a special camera (electronic endoscope) can help doctors see the baby more clearly during labor when signs of distress appear. It is for women who have a single baby, are in active labor with broken waters, and whose baby's heart rate is concerning despite standard treatments.
This trial tests a simple, non-invasive scalp stimulation on your baby's head during labor to see if it can predict whether your baby is getting enough oxygen, potentially avoiding the need for a more invasive blood test.
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 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.
This study tests a new procedure to reduce separation between mother and newborn after a planned C-section. It may help babies with mild breathing problems who need a little extra oxygen stay with their moms instead of going to a separate nursery.
