Amnioinfusion for babies exposed to thick meconium during labor
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are pregnant with one baby
- Your pregnancy is at least 36 weeks along

This trial tests whether flushing the amniotic sac (the fluid surrounding the baby) with saline solution can reduce brain injury when a mother develops a uterine infection during labor. The goal is to see if this simple treatment protects the baby's developing brain.
This trial tests a new treatment to help very premature babies (born at 22 to nearly 29 weeks) who still need a breathing machine and extra oxygen at 1–2 weeks old. The goal is to see if it can improve their lung health and reduce the need for breathing support.
This trial tests if giving a saline enema helps premature babies with meconium blockage pass stool, start feeding, and improve gut and brain health. It may reduce complications and help babies grow better.
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.
This study tests whether giving caffeine to babies born with meconium aspiration syndrome, who still need oxygen at 10 to 14 days old, can help them breathe better and leave the hospital sooner.
This trial tests whether giving extra fluid into the womb during labor can prevent heavy bleeding after delivery in people who are at medium or high risk for postpartum hemorrhage.
