About this study

This study was conducted to examine the effects of different masks used by pregnant women on vital signs and non stress test (NST) during the COVID-19. This study was conducted as a single-blind randomized controlled trial. Healthy pregnant women aged 19 years and older, who were followed up on an outpatient basis, and who were in the 37-40th week of pregnancy, were included in the study. The study consisted of a single surgical mask group (n=30), double surgical mask group (n=30), and N95 mask group (n=31). Masks were given to the resting pregnant women 30 minutes before the NST, and they were provided to wear masks. After 30 minutes, the vital signs of the pregnant women were measured just before and after the NST, and the images of the NST traces were taken.

What is being measured

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

  1. Vital signs

    Blood pressure-Systolic and diastolic (Blood pressure measured in mmHg)

    Measured: 30 minutes later, just before the NST was performed.

  2. Vital signs

    Respiratory rate (Respiratory rate per minute was measured)

    Measured: 30 minutes later, just before the NST was performed.

  3. Vital signs

    SpO2 saturation (SpO2 saturation was measured in %)

    Measured: 30 minutes later, just before the NST was performed.

  4. Vital signs

    Pulse (Pulse was measured in beats per minute/bpm)

    Measured: 30 minutes later, just before the NST was performed.

  5. Non stress test

    After the NST was finished, the images were taken by numbering the traces. A folder was created containing the NST traces that were imaged. After all the research data were collected, the NST tracing results (fetal heart rate (bpm), variability, acceleration, deceleration, contraction, reactivity, and non-reactivity) were evaluated by a Gynecology and Obstetrics physician who did not know which group the participants were in.

    Measured: Just after the NST was finished (after 20 minutes)

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Vital signs

    Blood pressure-Systolic and diastolic (Blood pressure measured in mmHg)

    Measured: Just after the NST was finished (after 20 minutes)

  2. Vital signs

    Respiratory rate (Respiratory rate per minute was measured)

    Measured: Just after the NST was finished (after 20 minutes)

  3. Vital signs

    SpO2 saturation (SpO2 saturation was measured in %)

    Measured: Just after the NST was finished (after 20 minutes)

  4. Vital signs

    Pulse (Pulse was measured in beats per minute/bpm)

    Measured: Just after the NST was finished (after 20 minutes)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Single surgical mask group, Double surgical mask group, N95 mask group in people with Covid-19 and Pregnant, run by Bozok University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 3 inclusion and 10 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye). Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

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?

Vital signs (time frame: 30 minutes later, just before the NST was performed.). The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 13 Oct 2022.
