NCT04413097

Brief Summary

This study is being conducted to compare the incidence of preterm infants (up to 28+6 weeks GA) who achieve a peripheral oxygen saturation of 80 percent by 5 minutes of life (MOL) given mask CPAP/PPV with an FiO2 of 1.0 during DCC for 90 seconds (HI Group) to infants given mask CPAP/PPV with an FiO2 of .30 during DCC for 90 seconds (LO Group).

Study Arms (2)

DCC and Low Oxygen Concentration

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

During 90 seconds of delayed cord clamping, the infant will receive gentle stimulation and start CPAP by 30 seconds of life at an FiO2 .30, with CPAP of 5 cmH20. If the infant is apneic or there is no Pedicap color change the team will begin positive pressure ventilation (starting PIP of 20 cmH20) by 60 seconds of life. The infant will remain on this support up until the umbilical cord is clamped at 90 seconds or greater. Once the cord is clamped the infant resuscitation will continue according to unit protocol.

Procedure: Delayed Cord Clamping with Low Oxygen concentration

DCC and High Oxygen Concentration

EXPERIMENTAL

During 90 seconds of delayed cord clamping, the infant will receive gentle stimulation and start CPAP by 30 seconds of life at an FiO2 1.0, with CPAP of 5 cmH20. If the infant is apneic or there is no Pedicap color change the team will begin positive pressure ventilation (starting PIP of 20 cmH20) by 60 seconds of life. The infant will remain on this support up until the umbilical cord is clamped at 90 seconds or greater. Once the cord is clamped the infant resuscitation will continue according to unit protocol.

Procedure: Delayed Cord Clamping with High Oxygen concentration

Interventions

During delayed umbilical cord clamping of 90 seconds, breathing assistance with CPAP/PPV and low oxygen concentration (FiO2 0.30) will be provided.

Also known as: DCC with Low Oxygen concentration, DCC LO group
DCC and Low Oxygen Concentration

During delayed umbilical cord clamping of 90 seconds, breathing assistance with CPAP/PPV and high oxygen concentration (FiO2 1.0) will be provided.

Masking Details
Once consent is obtained and the research staff is notified of a subject's impending birth, our research team member will open a randomization card and set the oxygen blender on the special bed to either an FiO2 of .30 or 1.0 and cover the blender. The research team member will not be involved in the clinical care for the infant and will blind the clinical care team from the randomized assignment.
