Keeping warm during planned c-section for comfort and baby's health
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether keeping a pregnant person warm during a planned cesarean section improves comfort and outcomes for the baby, such as better Apgar scores and lower stress hormone levels. If you're having a planned c-section added your baby is healthy, you may be able to join.

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 study compares two types of anesthesia used during planned cesarean deliveries to see if they affect the baby's hearing after birth. If you qualify, you would receive one of the standard anesthesia methods, and your baby's hearing would be checked shortly after delivery.
This study tests whether acupressure, a gentle pressure technique on specific body points, can help reduce shivering and keep you warm after a cesarean section. If you are a healthy woman having a planned cesarean with spinal anesthesia, this may help you recover more comfortably.
This study looks at whether keeping mothers warm after a C-section helps them recover faster. It compares standard care with a warmer blanket to see if it reduces shivering and improves comfort.
This study looks at how spinal anesthesia during a planned C-section may affect the baby's autonomic nervous system, which controls things like heart rate and breathing. It aims to help doctors better understand how to keep both mother and baby safe.
This study builds a tool to predict if blood pressure will drop during a planned cesarean with spinal anesthesia, using heart rate, blood pressure, and other non-invasive monitors. If you participate, the team will track your vital signs during the procedure to help improve safety and comfort for future mothers.
