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.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: high-flow nasal oxygen (via OptiFlow THRIVE device)
What this could lead to: If it works, this could show that high-flow oxygen helps protect the baby from oxygen shortage during C-section, leading to better outcomes.
What could go wrong: This is a small, early-stage study with 200 participants, so results may not apply to all pregnancies. The device may cause discomfort or not improve outcomes significantly.
