Jaundice management study using carbon monoxide breath test in newborns
Part of Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study uses a simple breath test to measure carbon monoxide levels in newborns, which may help doctors better manage jaundice. It aims to understand how these levels change and how they relate to jaundice treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby must be at least 37 weeks old at birth and weigh at least 5.5 pounds (2.5 kg).
- Your baby can be born vaginally or by C-section, but must stay in the hospital for at least 3 days.
- Your baby should not have been around any second-hand smoke in the last 24 hours.
- Neither you (the parents) nor your baby should be exposed to second-hand smoke, including if you smoke yourselves.

This trial uses a special breath test (ETCOc) to measure jaundice in newborns, aiming to improve diagnosis and treatment. It may help doctors decide when treatment is needed.
This study checks whether a device that reads bilirubin through the skin can be used to guide treatment with newborn phototherapy (special light). It may help babies with jaundice get the right monitoring and light treatment safely.
This trial compares different blood-bilirubin (jaundice) thresholds for treating very premature babies (born before 30 weeks) in the NICU. It aims to find the safest way to manage jaundice to prevent complications.
This trial tests different ways to give light therapy to newborns with jaundice. It compares different approaches to see which is best, and may help parents understand the most effective treatment for their baby.
This trial tests a scoring tool called BIND to see how well it predicts which newborns with severe jaundice need intensive treatment. If you have a baby under 28 days old with severe jaundice that might need a blood transfusion, this study could apply to them.
This study tests whether gentle foot reflexology and massage can help newborns with jaundice (high bilirubin levels in the blood) recover faster during light therapy treatment. Jaundice is common in newborns and is usually treated with special lights; this trial explores whether touch therapy might improve outcomes.
