New method to keep mom and baby together after C-section
Part of Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study tests a new procedure to reduce separation between mother and newborn after a planned C-section. It may help babies with mild breathing problems who need a little extra oxygen stay with their moms instead of going to a separate nursery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Born by planned C-section
- Born at 34 weeks or later
- Birth weight at least 2000 grams (4.4 pounds)
- Mild breathing trouble needing only low levels of extra oxygen (30% or less)
- Both parents must agree and sign a consent form

This trial tests whether using a remote oxygen monitor at home can help prevent ER visits and re-hospitalization for infants leaving the NICU. It aims to see if this simple device can provide extra safety and peace of mind for families.
This trial tests a “family-centered” approach that aims to keep mothers closely involved with their babies in intensive newborn care, rather than separating them. It may help families by supporting safer, more continuous mother–baby bonding during treatment.
This study looks at whether giving steroids before a planned C-section at full term can help babies breathe better after birth. It may be an option for pregnant women who are scheduled for a C-section and meet certain health criteria.
This trial tests a new treatment to help very premature babies (born at 22 to nearly 29 weeks) who still need a breathing machine and extra oxygen at 1–2 weeks old. The goal is to see if it can improve their lung health and reduce the need for breathing support.
This study looks at newborns in a lower-level NICU to see which ones will need extra breathing support. The goal is to better predict which babies can be kept at their current hospital instead of being moved.
This study looks at a different way to help very premature babies breathe in the first minutes after birth, which may improve their breathing and reduce lung problems.
