Fetal and newborn heart assessment during labor
Part of Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation, Pain clinical trials.
This study checks how well a baby's heart works during labor and right after birth. It uses a special monitor (CTG with STAN) to see if the baby's heart responds normally to the stress of labor.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are pregnant and admitted to the hospital for labor and delivery.
- Both parents give written consent for the newborn's participation.
- Your doctor uses a special type of fetal heart monitor (CTG with STAN) during labor.
- Your baby is not expected to have a severe lack of oxygen at birth (asphyxia) that would require cooling treatment.
- Your baby has no known major birth defects, chromosomal problems, or heart defects (except for a small hole called a patent ductus arteriosus).

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 uses a wireless monitor to track the baby's heart rate while you exercise. The goal is to learn how physical activity affects the baby in healthy expectant mothers.
This study tests a new way to read your baby's heart rate tracing (cardiotocography) during labor when the tracing is not perfectly normal (category II). The goal is to see if this method helps doctors better manage labor and improve outcomes for you and your baby.
This study looks at why signal loss happens during external fetal heart monitoring in labor. The goal is to improve monitoring for future pregnancies.
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 study checks unborn babies’ heart signals using special scans during pregnancy and then checks the baby’s heart shortly after birth. It may help researchers understand why certain high-risk pregnancies can lead to fetal demise and improve care.
