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.
Who can take part
- Pregnant with one baby and at full term (37 weeks or more)
- Your amniotic fluid (water) is stained with meconium (baby's first poop)
- You are not a carrier of group B streptococcus (GBS)
- You are not allergic to Zinacef (cefuroxime) or similar antibiotics
- You are not currently taking antibiotics for any other reason

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 giving azithromycin during labor can prevent infections in mothers and newborns. It is for pregnant women who are otherwise healthy and have no risk factors for 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 whether taking an antibiotic called azithromycin after cervical cerclage (a stitch placed in the cervix to prevent early labor) reduces infection risk during pregnancy. The goal is to help pregnancies continue safely to term.
This study tests whether giving a combination of antibiotics can lower the risk of early birth and improve outcomes for babies when a mother has a very short cervix or bulging water bag between 18 and 23 weeks of pregnancy. It is for women who are not yet in active labor and whose water has not broken.
