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 …

This review discusses an approach to determining the cause of neonatal encephalopathy,
as well as current evidence on resuscitation and subsequent management of hypoxic …

Abstract The European Resuscitation Council has produced these newborn life support
guidelines, which are based on the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation …

OBJECTIVE: To determine the effects of umbilical cord management strategies (including
timing of cord clamping and cord milking) in preterm infants< 34 weeks' gestation. DATA …

We propose that the respiratory transition at birth passes through three distinct, but
overlapping phases, which reflect different physiological states of the lung. Accordingly …

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 …

Maintenance of neonatal circulatory homeostasis is a real challenge, due to the complex
physiology during postnatal transition and the inherent immaturity of the cardiovascular …

Persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN) is one of the main causes of
neonatal morbidity and mortality. It is characterized by sustained elevation of pulmonary …

While it is now recognized that umbilical cord clamping (UCC) at birth is not necessarily an
innocuous act, there is still much confusion concerning the potential benefits and harms of …

Infants may benefit if resuscitation could be provided with an intact umbilical cord. Infants
identified at risk for resuscitation were randomized to 1-or 5-minute cord clamping. The 5 …
