Background Umbilical cord clamping strategies at preterm birth have the potential to affect
important health outcomes. The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of …

Background Deferred (also known as delayed) cord clamping can improve survival of infants
born preterm (before 37 weeks of gestation), but the optimal duration of deferral remains …

There is a large body of evidence demonstrating that delaying clamping of the umbilical cord
provides benefits for term and preterm infants. These benefits include reductions in mortality …

Objective Physiological-based cord clamping (PBCC) led to a more stable cardiovascular
adaptation and better oxygenation in preterm lambs, but in preterm infants, this approach …

Aim To test whether stabilising very preterm infants while performing physiological-based
cord clamping (PBCC) is at least as effective as the standard approach of time-based …

Background International guidelines recommend delayed umbilical cord clamping (DCC) up
to 1 min in preterm infants, unless the condition of the infant requires immediate …

Fetal to neonatal transition is characterised by major pulmonary and haemodynamic
changes occurring in a short period of time. In the international neonatal resuscitation …

Background: Most preterm infants fail to aerate their immature lungs at birth and need
respiratory support for cardiopulmonary stabilization. Cord clamping before lung aeration …

Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is associated with high mortality rates and
significant pulmonary morbidity, mainly due to disrupted lung development related to …

Background In critically ill (preterm) neonates, central venous catheters (CVCs) are
increasingly used for administration of medication or parenteral nutrition. A serious …
