Can a simple color check speed up newborn breathing support?
NCT ID NCT06258187
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether using a Pedi-Cap, a device that changes color to show carbon dioxide levels, can shorten the time newborns need breathing help in the delivery room. About 632 infants born at 30 weeks or later who need face mask ventilation will be included. The research team will compare months when the device is used versus months when it is not, and also survey staff about their experience.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Infants born at ≥30 weeks' gestation * Presence of the resuscitation team prior to delivery * Need for non-invasive positive pressure ventilation (PPV). Exclusion Criteria: * Infants born at \<30 weeks' gestation * No non-invasive PPV needed in the delivery room * Infants with conditions requiring immediate intubation such as congenital diaphragmatic hernia * Resuscitation team not present prior to delivery/need for PPV * Infants who have a prenatal plan of comfort care only
