Preventive antibiotics for meconium-stained fluid at birth
Part of Genetic & congenital, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests whether giving a single dose of the antibiotic Zinacef (cefuroxime) to women with meconium-stained amniotic fluid during labor can reduce infections. You may be eligible if you have a full-term, single baby and your water is stained with meconium.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests whether a combination of two antibiotics (azithromycin and ampicillin) can help pregnant people whose water has broken between 34 and 36 weeks of pregnancy. The goal is to see if this treatment improves outcomes for both the parent and baby without causing early labor or infection.
This trial tests whether a single dose of the antibiotic azithromycin before a planned C-section can prevent infections after delivery. It is for pregnant people with a singleton or twins who are not in labor or have not had their water break.
This trial tests whether adding fluid into the womb (amnioinfusion) during labor can protect a baby's lungs and health after being exposed to thick meconium (baby's first poop). It may help reduce breathing problems and improve long-term outcomes.
This study tests if giving an antibiotic called azithromycin during labor can help prevent infections in mothers and babies. It is for pregnant women without signs of infection who go into labor naturally or are induced.
This trial studies whether taking antibiotics can help in pregnancies where the “water” broke early (before 23 weeks) but you don’t have a fever. It aims to reduce complications while keeping both mother and baby as safe as possible.
This trial tests whether giving a combination of antibiotics to women with threatened very early labor (before 24 weeks) can reduce the chances of the baby being born too early and having health problems. It aims to help improve outcomes for both mother and baby.
