Enhanced recovery after surgery for newborn babies
Part of Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study looks at how to help newborn babies recover more smoothly after major surgery. It tests a set of care steps called 'Enhanced Recovery After Surgery' (ERAS) to see if they reduce pain, speed up recovery, and get babies home sooner.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby is at least 24 weeks along in pregnancy at birth and less than 44 weeks corrected age at the time of surgery.
- Your baby needs major surgery that is not on the heart (for example, chest, belly, brain shunt, or airway repair).
- Your baby is admitted to a participating newborn intensive care unit (NICU) at one of the study hospitals.
- Your baby's heart is not the only thing being operated on, and they are not having a very minor procedure (like a central line or eye exam).
- Your baby has no life-limiting genetic condition and has not had heart-lung bypass (ECMO) or fetal surgery.

This study looks at how a special recovery plan (called ERAS) works for newborns after intestinal surgery. The plan focuses on getting babies back to normal feeding sooner, and the study team will review past medical records to see how it went.
This study looks at how to better manage pain in newborn babies after surgery. It aims to improve comfort and recovery for infants in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).
