Optimizing transition: Providing oxygen during intact cord resuscitation

Hannah Edwards et al. Semin Perinatol. 2023 Aug.

Abstract

Delayed clamping and cutting of the umbilical cord at birth is standard practice for management for all newborns. Preterm infants may additionally benefit from a combination of ventilation and oxygen provision during intact cord resuscitation. This review highlights both the potential benefits of such a combined approach and the need for further rigorous studies, including randomized controlled trials, of delivery room management in this population.
