Better care for newborns with severe asphyxia at birth
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at how routine hospital care for full-term or near-term newborns with severe oxygen deprivation at birth can be improved. It aims to find where care can be optimized to reduce complications.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Born at or after 36 weeks of pregnancy (full-term or near-term).
- Had severe oxygen loss (asphyxia) around the time of birth, shown by: death in the hospital, moderate to severe brain injury from lack of oxygen, or seizures related to birth events.
- Low blood pH, high lactate, or low Apgar score within the first few minutes after birth indicating oxygen loss.
- Not a stillbirth before admission, not a termination of pregnancy, and no major birth defects affecting survival or development.
- Brain injury must be due to oxygen loss at birth, not other causes.

This study looks at very early signs in newborns that may show if they had a lack of oxygen around birth (called perinatal asphyxia). It tests whether certain blood markers can help doctors detect and treat this condition sooner.
This study looks at newborns who had a difficult start due to oxygen loss around birth (called hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy). Researchers want to learn more about this condition to improve care and outcomes for affected babies.
This trial tests whether giving magnesium sulphate to newborns with birth asphyxia (lack of oxygen at birth) can help them recover faster and shorten their hospital stay.
This study uses brain monitoring and oxygen measurements in newborns who had a mild lack of oxygen at birth to see if these tests can predict how the baby will develop. The goal is to find early signs that might help guide care.
This study looks at full-term babies born with very low cord blood pH (a sign of oxygen shortage). It aims to understand different patterns of low oxygen and how they affect newborns. Doctors hope this can improve care for babies with similar issues.
This study looks at how well current methods detect oxygen shortage in newborns during delivery. It may help doctors better identify babies who need extra care right after birth.
