First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looks at whether giving mothers high-flow oxygen during a C-section can help prevent oxygen shortage in the baby. Researchers will compare a special high-flow oxygen device (OptiFlow THRIVE) with standard low-flow oxygen. The trial involves 200 pregnant women scheduled for C-section under spinal anesthesia.
