Checking newborn oxygen levels right after birth
Part of Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study looks at how well current methods detect oxygen shortage in newborns during delivery. It may help doctors better identify babies who need extra care right after birth.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are pregnant with one baby (not twins or more).
- Your baby is expected to be born at 37 weeks or later.
- Your baby's heart rate is monitored during labor.
- Blood from the umbilical cord is tested after birth.
- You agree to allow your and your baby's medical data to be used for research (if participating in the main part of the study).

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 measures a newborn’s brain activity immediately after delivery. It may help doctors better understand early brain function in healthy full-term babies.
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 how well a non-invasive device can monitor lung function in preterm babies who have frequent drops in their oxygen levels (hypoxemia). The goal is to help doctors better track and care for these babies.
