Early transport teams for extremely premature babies born outside hospitals
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study compares two approaches for moving extremely premature babies (born before 29 weeks) to specialized hospitals: sending the transport team before birth versus after birth. The goal is to find the best way to care for these vulnerable newborns during transport.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby was born before 29 weeks of pregnancy (between 23 and 28 weeks)
- Your baby was born outside a level 3 maternity hospital (a specialized hospital for high-risk pregnancies)
- An emergency medical service was called before your baby was born because early delivery was expected
- Your baby was born alive at the hospital or during transport to one
- You and your partner both speak and understand French well enough for phone follow-up
- Your baby was not born accidentally at home without medical help

This study is testing a way to observe and rate the development of very premature babies. It is for babies born between 27 and 32 weeks, in good health, and whose families live near Toulouse.
This trial compares different therapy approaches for premature babies. It aims to help with their development using the ICF biopsychosocial model, which looks at health from many angles.
This study tests if videos taken by parents at home can be as good as videos taken by doctors for checking the movement of very premature babies. It may help reduce the need for hospital visits.
This study looks at how very small premature babies (born early and weighing less than 4.4 pounds at discharge) do after they go home. It helps doctors understand what support families need.
This study compares two early treatments for premature babies (born 30–34 weeks) and full-term babies to see how they affect development over time. It may help your baby get more personalized care.
This trial is part of a regional follow-up program for babies born very early. It looks at how these “extremely preterm” children do as they grow, and can help the care team spot needs earlier at the age-3 visit.
