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.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You are pregnant with one baby
- Your pregnancy is at least 36 weeks along
- Your baby is head-down (cephalic presentation)
- Your cervix is dilated 2 to 10 centimeters
- You have thick meconium in your amniotic fluid

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests whether a treatment during labor called amnioinfusion (putting sterile fluid into the uterus) can help lower the risk of brain injury in babies when the mother has chorioamnionitis, an infection of the amniotic sac. The goal is to see if this simple procedure improves newborn outcomes and reduces the chances of long-term developmental problems.
This study tests an experimental treatment to help premature babies' lungs grow stronger and reduce the need for a breathing machine. It might help your baby if they are very premature and still need extra oxygen and breathing support.
This study tests whether giving caffeine to newborns who had meconium aspiration syndrome and still need breathing support can help them get off that support sooner and improve their outcomes.
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 trial is testing whether adding fluid back into the womb (amnioinfusion) can help babies whose kidneys are not working and who have no amniotic fluid early in pregnancy. It may improve the baby's chances of survival and lung development.
