Using an electronic endoscope for fetal distress during labor
Part of Genetic & congenital, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a special camera (electronic endoscope) can help doctors see the baby more clearly during labor when signs of distress appear. It is for women who have a single baby, are in active labor with broken waters, and whose baby's heart rate is concerning despite standard treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 20 and 45 years old
- You are pregnant with one baby (not twins or more)
- You are in labor and your water has already broken
- Your baby's heart rate pattern is concerning (category II) and does not improve with oxygen, fluids, or position changes
- You are willing to sign a consent form and follow the study procedures

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests a new device that measures oxygen levels in babies during labor. It may help doctors monitor your baby's health more closely if you are in labor and have an epidural.
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 study checks how well a baby's heart works during labor and right after birth. It uses a special monitor (CTG with STAN) to see if the baby's heart responds normally to the stress of labor.
This trial tests a simple, non-invasive scalp stimulation on your baby's head during labor to see if it can predict whether your baby is getting enough oxygen, potentially avoiding the need for a more invasive blood test.
This trial tests a new sensor system (called INGA) to monitor your baby's heartbeat and your contractions during labor induction. It is for full-term pregnant women with an unripe cervix who are planning to have labor started using a balloon catheter.
This study looks at using a special curved or straight scope (fetoscope) to perform surgery on a baby while it is still in the womb. If you are pregnant and your baby needs this kind of surgery, you may be able to take part.
