Trial summary

Supplementary oxygen is routinely administered to patients, even those with adequate oxygen saturations, in the belief that it increases oxygen delivery. However, oxygen delivery depends not just on arterial oxygen content but also on perfusion. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: The Effect of Maternal Long Term High Flow Oxygen Administration During Labor on Umbilical Cord Blood Gases

Supplementary oxygen is routinely administered to patients, even those with adequate oxygen saturations, in the belief that it increases oxygen delivery. However, oxygen delivery depends not just on arterial oxygen content but also on perfusion.

Maternal oxygen administration has been used in an attempt to lessen fetal distress by increasing the available oxygen from the mother. However, the effect of supplemental maternal oxygen therapy on fetal acid base status has been debated for more than seven decades.

The investigators found the use of 2 L/min maternal oxygen during the second stage of labor did not adversely affect either the umbilical artery pH value or the fetal heart rate (FHR) pattern distribution.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Cord arterial pH values

    Immediately after delivery (within 30-60 seconds of birth), blood gas sample will be obtained.

    Measured: within 30 to 60 seconds of birth

  2. Cord arterial partial pressure of oxygen

    Immediately after delivery (within 30-60 seconds of birth), blood gas sample will be obtained.

    Measured: within 30 to 60 seconds of birth

  3. Cord arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide

    Immediately after delivery (within 30-60 seconds of birth), blood gas sample will be obtained.

    Measured: within 30 to 60 seconds of birth

  4. Cord venous pH values

    Immediately after delivery (within 30-60 seconds of birth), blood gas sample will be obtained.

    Measured: within 30 to 60 seconds of birth

  5. Cord venous partial pressure of oxygen

    Immediately after delivery (within 30-60 seconds of birth), blood gas sample will be obtained.

    Measured: within 30 to 60 seconds of birth

  6. Cord venous partial pressure of carbon dioxide

    Immediately after delivery (within 30-60 seconds of birth), blood gas sample will be obtained.

    Measured: within 30 to 60 seconds of birth

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Rate of abnormal fetal heart tracing

    Measured: at 1 minute after birth

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing tight-fitting simple facemask in people with Oxygen Inhalation Therapy and Labour, run by Navy General Hospital, Beijing at 3 sites in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Aug 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Cord arterial pH values (time frame: within 30 to 60 seconds of birth). The study lists 6 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03764696, which also lists 2 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 15 Aug 2023.
