Optical Monitoring of Placental Oxygenation and Metabolism

NCT06886685 · Status: RECRUITING · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 500

Last updated 2025-03-20

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The aim of this observational study is to detect changes in placental function related to the wellbeing of babies during pregnancy. The study also aims to assess the usefulness of a light-based technology, called near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), to monitor oxygen levels in the placenta and how placental tissue is using the oxygen (metabolism) during pregnancy.

Participants will be monitored using a newly developed mobile wearable device (light-based technology), which will be placed on the abdomen of pregnant women, and they will be monitored for up to 1 hour during their hospital visit. Participants will attend hospital visits as part of their routine care and these monitoring sessions will take place at this time.
