Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (2)
Ability to identify, consent, enroll and randomize 70% of eligible infants into study.
Feasibility measures
18 months
The number of infants in the study who develop meconium aspiration syndrome, require extracorporeal membrane oxygenation or die
Clinical outcome measure
18 months
Study Arms (2)
Immediate intubation
EXPERIMENTALThese infants will have immediate endotracheal suctioning after delivery. They will then have resuscitation per Neonatal Resuscitation Program guidelines.
Immediate resuscitation
EXPERIMENTALThese infants will have immediate resuscitation per the Neonatal Resuscitation Program guidelines without endotracheal suctioning.
Interventions
Infants that are not vigorous at delivery will receive immediate tracheal suctioning
Infants that are not vigorous at delivery will receive immediate initial steps of resuscitation and PPV if needed
