Mission
Raise funds for fetal surgeries and bring awareness to the field of fetal medicine.
Program accomplishments
- University of Cincinnati Children's Hospital- The Brianna Marie Foundation is proud to partner with Dr. Braxton Forde from Cincinnati Children's Hospital to advance research of synthetic amniotic fluid. When a fetus's kidneys fail, the disorder halts fetal urine production, depriving the lungs of vital amniotic fluid and often leading to fatal respiratory complications at birth. While traditional amnioinfusions using standard IV fluids can improve outcomes, they pose high risks and may even contribute to inflammation. In response, Dr. Forde and his team developed Amnio-well, a synthetic amniotic fluid designed to mimic the natural environment of the womb. Early research has shown it significantly reduces inflammation and promotes healthier lung development. With support from the Brianna Marie Foundation, the team is now conducting advanced studies in pregnant sheep to compare Amnio-well to standard treatments, paving the way for safer, more effective fetal therapies. This work may also benefit other delicate fetal surgeries that rely on amnioinfusions, potentially reducing complications across the board.grants $25,000
- Fetal Institute - Miami - 2025 funding from the Brianna Marie Foundation will be crucial in advancing the Fetal Institute's continued research efforts. It will allow them to conduct an animal experiment to validate the technique developed in their previous study and address the technical challenges they encountered. This support will also enable them to evaluate a medical device currently used in fetal therapy for a specific condition, expanding its potential applications. Additionally, the funding will help them continue refining an ideal shunting device for managing fetal thoracic fluid collections, including pleural and pericardial effusions, as well as type I CPAM. These contributions will significantly propel our mission to improve outcomes in fetal therapy.grants $40,000
