Ultrasound test during pregnancy for sleep apnea risk
Part of Brain & nervous system, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests if a bedside ultrasound can help check fluid in the lungs of pregnant women who have untreated sleep apnea or are at high risk for it. The goal is to see if this quick test can identify women who might need extra care during pregnancy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older and pregnant.
- You are more than 20 weeks pregnant.
- You have untreated sleep apnea (diagnosed in the last year) or are at high risk for it.
- Your physical health (based on a standard ASA rating) is stable or controlled.
- You have not had surgery on your mouth, head, or neck (e.g., sleep apnea surgery).
- You do not have an active head or neck disease (like cancer or infection) and are not using a CPAP machine for sleep apnea.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study uses an echocardiogram (heart ultrasound) to check for high blood pressure in the lungs (pulmonary hypertension) in people with obstructive sleep apnea. It may help find hidden heart strain in sleep apnea patients.
This study tests new ways to diagnose obstructive sleep apnea. If you haven't been diagnosed with sleep apnea and are generally healthy, you may be able to join.
This study is improving how doctors classify obstructive sleep apnea (a condition where your breathing stops and starts during sleep). It focuses on sleepiness and heart-related risks to help guide treatment. If you are 40 or older and have untreated OSA, you may be able to join.
This study compares a home sleep test to a hospital sleep test for diagnosing sleep apnea. If you have symptoms of sleep apnea, you may be able to do the test at home instead of going to the hospital.
This trial tests whether a special computer model can predict sleep apnea severity using a stethoscope and a fingertip oxygen sensor, instead of a full sleep test. It might help people get faster and easier sleep apnea diagnosis.
This study helps doctors understand how to better adjust sleep apnea breathing machines by measuring your airway. You'll have a simple breathing test and overnight sleep study to help improve treatment.
