Early markers of oxygen shortage at birth
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at very early signs in newborns that may show if they had a lack of oxygen around birth (called perinatal asphyxia). It tests whether certain blood markers can help doctors detect and treat this condition sooner.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby must be a newborn (between 36 and 42 weeks of pregnancy) and either healthy, at risk, or diagnosed with oxygen shortage.
- If your baby was diagnosed with oxygen shortage, they must weigh at least 1800 grams (about 4 pounds).
- Your baby's health scores (Apgar) at 1, 3, and 5 minutes after birth must be checked.
- No major problems during pregnancy or birth for the healthy group.
- Your baby must not have any other serious health conditions that would interfere.

This study looks at how routine hospital care for full-term or near-term newborns with severe oxygen deprivation at birth can be improved. It aims to find where care can be optimized to reduce complications.
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 uses a safe, non-invasive ultrasound technique to measure brain activity in newborn babies. It aims to understand brain development and connectivity in preterm infants, infants with birth-related oxygen deprivation, growth-restricted babies, siblings of children with autism, and healthy full-term babies.
This study uses brain monitoring and oxygen measurements in newborns who had a mild lack of oxygen at birth to see if these tests can predict how the baby will develop. The goal is to find early signs that might help guide care.
This study tests whether a simple smell test can help doctors better understand the risk of brain injury in newborns who had oxygen loss at birth. It may help identify babies who need extra monitoring without requiring cooling treatment.
This study looks at a blood test that might help check brain injury in newborns who had a lack of oxygen at birth. The test could give doctors more information to help care for your baby.
