Study of low oxygen in full-term newborns
Part of Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study looks at full-term babies born with very low cord blood pH (a sign of oxygen shortage). It aims to understand different patterns of low oxygen and how they affect newborns. Doctors hope this can improve care for babies with similar issues.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older and receiving care at the study hospital.
- You are pregnant with one baby (not twins or more).
- Your baby's cord blood pH is below 7.00 (a measure of oxygen levels at birth).
- Your baby is born at 37 weeks or later (full term).
- Your baby has no known birth defects.
- You have a cardiotocography recording (a monitor of baby's heartbeat and your contractions).

This study looks at how well current methods detect oxygen shortage in newborns during delivery. It may help doctors better identify babies who need extra care right after birth.
This study tests a new device that measures oxygen levels in babies during labor. It may help doctors monitor your baby's health more closely if you are in labor and have an epidural.
This study looks at how routine hospital care for full-term or near-term newborns with severe oxygen deprivation at birth can be improved. It aims to find where care can be optimized to reduce complications.
This study uses brain monitoring and oxygen measurements in newborns who had a mild lack of oxygen at birth to see if these tests can predict how the baby will develop. The goal is to find early signs that might help guide care.
This study checks how well a new Owlet sensor measures oxygen levels in newborns. It is for babies who already have an arterial line in place for routine blood tests.
This study looks at a blood test that might help check brain injury in newborns who had a lack of oxygen at birth. The test could give doctors more information to help care for your baby.
