What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only This study
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.

Summary

This trial investigates whether placing a newborn on its stomach (prone) or left side during delayed cord clamping influences heart rate and oxygen saturation. Researchers will monitor 120 full-term, vaginally born infants during the first minutes after birth. The goal is to see if a simple positioning change can improve the baby's transition to life outside the womb.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
prone or left-side lying position during delayed cord clamping
What this could lead to
If one position proves better, it could become a standard practice to improve newborns' first moments of life.
What could go wrong
This is a small, single-center trial measuring short-term vital signs, not long-term outcomes. The difference between positions may be minimal.
