Oxygen during cesarean for better baby health
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 trial tests if a short breathing exercise before spinal anesthesia can help keep your blood pressure steady during a planned C-section. You will practice the technique briefly before the procedure.
This study compares two ways of giving a drug called oxytocin during a planned C-section to see which is better at keeping your blood pressure and heart rate stable. It may help reduce dizziness or drops in blood pressure after the baby is born.
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 a new procedure to reduce separation between mother and newborn after a planned C-section. It may help babies with mild breathing problems who need a little extra oxygen stay with their moms instead of going to a separate nursery.
This trial studies whether giving extra oxygen to the pregnant person during labor helps the baby during “intrauterine resuscitation,” when monitoring suggests the baby needs support. It may help babies recover better while still in the womb, especially during continuous fetal monitoring.
