Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Delayed clamping of the umbilical cord (DCC) has been shown to have some benefits for preterm infants. Initiation of breathing before cord clamping is also thought to be beneficial. Since some preterm infants do not breathe well on their own immediately after birth, assisting ventilation during delayed cord clamping might have additional benefit beyond DCC alone. "VentFirst Pilot" will assess feasibility and safety of assisting ventilation of preterm infants during 90 seconds of DCC which is essential before proceeding to a randomized clinical trial.
