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).

This study tests whether an AI program (like a smart computer) can read fetal heart rate tracings during labor as well as doctors do. The goal is to see if the AI helps doctors make better decisions during childbirth.
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 looks at why signal loss happens during external fetal heart monitoring in labor. The goal is to improve monitoring for future pregnancies.
This study compares using a shorter 10-minute fetal heart rate monitoring period instead of the standard 30-minute monitoring during labor, aiming to help in busy hospitals with limited resources. If you are a low-risk mom in early labor, this could mean less time hooked up to monitors while still checking your baby's heart rate.
This study tests whether a special monitor worn during labor can help doctors watch the unborn baby's nervous system and reduce health problems after birth. It may help identify babies at risk earlier and improve care.
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.
