MHO Trial Summary

This trial tested a new type of treatment that could help infants with LHH.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for pregnant women with normal ultrasounds or those whose fetuses have specific heart issues like left heart hypoplasia, at risk of aortic coarctation, or related conditions. It's not for mothers with multiple pregnancies, certain health problems (like severe hypertension), or poor ultrasound images.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests if giving extra oxygen to the mother can help babies who might be born with small left-sided heart structures. Mothers breathe in more oxygen and doctors check if it improves the baby's heart condition before birth.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While maternal hyperoxygenation is generally considered safe, potential side effects are not detailed here. Typically, increased oxygen levels could lead to changes in blood flow or oxidative stress but would be closely monitored.
