NCT ID NCT06915467
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests a new way to place an emergency IV line through the umbilical cord in newborns who need urgent resuscitation. The procedure aims to deliver adrenaline faster than the standard method. Researchers will enroll 26 full-term babies to see if the new technique can restore a normal heart rate within 90 seconds.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- umbilical vein catheterization through Wharton's jelly procedure
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could provide a quicker, more reliable emergency access for life-saving drugs in newborns, potentially improving resuscitation outcomes.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-phase study with only 26 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The procedure may fail or take longer than expected, and standard care will be used as backup.
