Keeping cord attached longer at emergency cesarean
Part of Genetic & congenital, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests keeping the umbilical cord attached longer during an emergency cesarean to see if it helps the baby. If you are having a full-term emergency cesarean with spinal or epidural anesthesia, your baby may be able to benefit from this practice.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are pregnant with one baby (not twins or more).
- Your baby is born alive.
- You are at least 37 weeks pregnant when the baby is born.
- The baby is delivered by an emergency cesarean section, and you have epidural or spinal anesthesia.
- Your baby does not have a major birth defect or genetic disorder that would affect their breathing or care.

This trial studies whether giving extra oxygen to the pregnant person during labor helps the baby during “intrauterine resuscitation,” when monitoring suggests the baby needs support. It may help babies recover better while still in the womb, especially during continuous fetal monitoring.
This trial studies whether waiting longer before clamping the umbilical cord and starting early skin-to-skin contact can be done safely for babies born between 30 and 35 weeks by vaginal birth. It may help support breathing, circulation, and overall early newborn care.
This study compares waiting a bit before clamping the umbilical cord versus clamping it right away for babies born between 32 and 37 weeks of pregnancy. It helps determine which approach may be better for preterm infants.
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 tests a new care routine for clamping the umbilical cord right after birth, developed with expert input, to see if it improves health for mothers and their newborns. Participation involves following this routine during your delivery and having your and your baby's outcomes tracked.
This study looks at how long to wait before clamping the umbilical cord in babies born with a heart condition. It helps doctors understand the best timing for these newborns.
