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 study looks at a new way to help very premature babies who need breathing support right after birth. The goal is to find a gentler method that may reduce lung damage and improve breathing outcomes.
This study tests whether giving extra humidified oxygen through a tube near your nose during a planned cesarean under spinal anesthesia helps improve the baby's oxygen levels and health right after birth. If you're having a planned C-section, this simple addition might benefit both you and your baby.
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 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 study compares two ways to help newborns who need breathing support right after birth. It looks at whether giving steady air with chest presses or using a 3:1 rhythm of breaths to presses works better. This could help improve care for babies born not breathing well.
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.
