How Fetal Anesthesia Works During Prenatal Surgery
This study examines how anesthesia medications work in fetuses during prenatal surgery. Researchers will measure drug levels in fetal blood to better understand safety and dosing for unborn babies undergoing surgical procedures.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are pregnant and scheduled for fetal surgery (surgery on the unborn baby) that requires anesthesia
- Your fetus will have blood samples taken during or after surgery as part of your normal care
- You and your fetus do not have liver or kidney disease
- You and your fetus have no allergies to fentanyl, rocuronium, or atropine (the anesthesia drugs being studied)
- You have not taken certain medications in the 24 hours before surgery (including some heart, stomach, and cold medicines)

This study tests two types of small cameras (fetoscopes) to see how well they work for surgery on a baby before birth. Doctors want to learn if these tools can safely perform fetal procedures.
This study looks at how spinal anesthesia during a planned C-section may affect the baby's autonomic nervous system, which controls things like heart rate and breathing. It aims to help doctors better understand how to keep both mother and baby safe.
This study watches how babies' brains respond when they receive anesthesia for necessary surgery or procedures in their first month of life. Researchers hope to better understand how anesthesia works in newborns to make it safer.
This study looks at using a special curved or straight scope (fetoscope) to perform surgery on a baby while it is still in the womb. If you are pregnant and your baby needs this kind of surgery, you may be able to take part.
This trial tests if combining fentanyl and morphine in spinal anesthesia offers better pain control during cesarean section than morphine alone, helping doctors choose the best option for new mothers.
This trial compares two medications (dexmedetomidine and fentanyl) given during general anesthesia to see which one better protects the heart and blood flow in people having major abdominal cancer surgery. The goal is to find a safer, more effective way to manage anesthesia during these procedures.
