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.

- You are in spontaneous labor or being induced.
- You plan to have continuous fetal heart monitoring during labor.
- You can speak English or Spanish.

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 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 study tests whether giving extra humidified oxygen through a tube near your nose during a planned cesarean under spinal anesthesia helps improve the baby's oxygen levels and health right after birth. If you're having a planned C-section, this simple addition might benefit both you and your baby.
This study compares two different starting oxygen levels for babies born a bit early (32-35 weeks) who need breathing help at birth. The goal is to find the safest oxygen level to start with to help their lungs.
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.
This trial tests a technique that gives extra oxygen to patients while they are under anesthesia and the breathing tube is being placed. It aims to keep oxygen levels safer during this critical time.
