NCT ID NCT05681624

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

Summary

This study looks at whether giving mothers extra oxygen during labor when the baby's heart rate is concerning actually improves baby health. About 2,100 women with full-term, single-baby pregnancies will be randomly assigned to receive either oxygen or regular room air. The goal is to see if oxygen reduces serious newborn complications like breathing problems, seizures, or death.
