Study of oxygen levels in newborns at birth
Part of Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This research study looks at how doctors can better detect when a newborn isn't getting enough oxygen during delivery. It uses heart-rate tracings and blood tests to understand what happens in the first moments after birth.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are carrying one baby (not twins or multiples)
- Your baby is due at 37 weeks of pregnancy or later
- You have a heart-rate tracing (CTG monitor strip) done within 90 minutes before delivery
- Your baby's umbilical cord blood was tested for oxygen and acid levels right after birth
- You are willing to sign a consent form (if joining the prospective/new enrollment part)

Other trials that look related to this one.
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.
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 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 how well oxygen is being used by the body in newborns who are having breathing problems, from birth through the first hours of life. It also studies whether infection plays a role, which may help doctors better understand and treat newborn breathing trouble.
This study looks at babies who may have had low oxygen around birth (perinatal asphyxia). It compares healthy babies, babies at risk, and babies diagnosed with asphyxia to find early markers that could help doctors detect it sooner.
This study looks at a special blood marker in full-term newborns who had brain injury from lack of oxygen during birth. It aims to help doctors better understand and treat this condition.
