Monitoring brain oxygen during cord care for preterm babies
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at how we hold and manage the umbilical cord right after birth in preterm babies (born before 34 weeks). It uses a special monitor on the baby's head to check oxygen levels in the brain while doctors decide the best way to care for the cord.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Baby is expected to be born before 34 weeks of pregnancy.
- Parent or guardian must agree to the study.
- Baby is a singleton (not a twin or more).
- Baby does not have a known major birth defect or serious heart condition.
- Resuscitation is considered appropriate for the baby.

This study checks whether a new sensor placed on a premature baby’s belly can measure oxygen levels reliably in real time. The goal is to improve how clinicians monitor breathing and oxygen in babies born early.
This study checks how well newborn babies’ brains are getting oxygen and how brain activity changes while they have certain major surgeries. It may help doctors better monitor brain safety during surgery in newborns with specific conditions.
This Phase 3 study tests ways to protect brain health in newborns who are very premature or recently born and need a breathing machine through a tube. It may help reduce the risk of brain injury while they receive intensive care.
This trial uses a special monitor to check oxygen levels in the brain of very premature babies. It aims to see if low oxygen affects kidney health.
This trial studies a different way of clamping the umbilical cord after birth to see if it helps moderately preterm babies (born between 32 and 37 weeks). It may improve their health right after delivery.
This clinical trial is testing a special monitor that checks oxygen levels in your baby's brain during care in the intensive care unit. The goal is to see if this monitoring can help protect your baby's kidneys and overall health.
