Gentle cord clamping for babies with diaphragmatic hernia
Part of Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study compares a gentle way of clamping the umbilical cord after birth in babies with a diaphragmatic hernia. The goal is to see if this approach improves the baby's oxygen levels and reduces the need for breathing support.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby must have been diagnosed with a congenital diaphragmatic hernia before birth.
- You must be at least 34 weeks pregnant.
- You must be carrying only one baby.
- Your baby must not have other major birth defects or genetic problems found before birth.
- Your delivery must be planned (not an emergency C-section) and your health must allow the study approach.
- Both parents must sign a consent form agreeing to the study.

This study looks at a specific way to support a newborn’s breathing right after birth when they have congenital diaphragmatic hernia (a birth condition affecting the diaphragm). If you qualify, the team will compare their resuscitation approach to standard care to see if it helps babies in the delivery room.
This study looks at two different ways of waiting before clamping the umbilical cord after birth. Some babies get a 30-second wait, and others get a wait based on the pulses in the cord. The goal is to see which method might be better for mothers and newborns.
This study looks at placing a small balloon in a baby’s windpipe before birth to help severe congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH). The goal is to improve lung growth and birth outcomes by testing whether this timing and method can help babies with the most severe cases.
This is an observational study that follows babies and children with congenital diaphragm hernia (CDH) to learn more about their health and care over time. It may help doctors better understand which factors affect outcomes.
This trial tests whether placing a tiny balloon in the fetus’s windpipe can help lungs develop and improve severe pulmonary (lung) blood pressure in babies with severe congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH). It may lower the chance of breathing and circulation problems after birth, but it requires a specialized procedure and close follow-up in Houston.
This study compares two types of ventilator support for newborns with congenital diaphragmatic hernia. The goal is to see which breathing approach works better and is safer when started very early after birth.
