Monitoring body temperature in mothers and preterm babies
This trial tests a way to keep track of body temperature continuously for both mothers and their preterm babies, to see if it helps monitor their health more closely. It might improve care for babies born a bit early.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby is born between 32 and 36 weeks of pregnancy (about 2 months early).
- You sign a consent form before delivery, agreeing for your baby to participate.
- You plan for your baby to receive full life-saving support if needed.
- Your baby does not have a major birth defect.

This study uses a special light sensor (called NIRS) placed on your baby's skin to check how well blood and oxygen are reaching their organs during a blood transfusion. The goal is to see if the transfusion safely improves oxygen levels in preterm babies, which may help doctors care for them better.
This study tests a new way to continuously monitor the body temperature of newborns who are receiving cooling therapy (to protect the brain after birth complications). If your baby is eligible, continuous monitoring may help doctors better manage the cooling treatment and improve care.
This study looks at why some babies, especially premature ones, have trouble keeping warm (hypothermia). It has two parts: one for babies in the neonatal ICU and one for infants under 2 having surgery. The goal is to find better ways to keep them safe and warm.
This study looks at two ways of providing control or calming in incubators for very preterm babies (born before 32 weeks) to see how they affect growth and health problems. It may help caregivers learn which method supports safer, healthier development.
This study tests a new soft monitor that uses light to check oxygen levels in your baby's belly, without needles or blood draws. It could help doctors keep a gentle watch on your baby's oxygen levels and find problems early.
This study tests a monitoring tool to help doctors spot a serious gut problem in premature babies born before 32 weeks. If the tool works, it could lead to earlier treatment and better outcomes.
