NCT05868980

Brief Summary

In the international delivery room guidelines, it is not specified which position is optimal for the baby stabilization. Here, the investigators want to evaluate the effects of the positions on postnatal adaptation and cerebral oxygenation in the delivery room of infants who did not require resuscitation. Infants will be randomly stabilized in the supine, right-side, left-side and prone positions (60 babies in all, 15/position). The investigators will record the 1st and 5th min Apgar scores and the heart rate, pulse oximetry and perfusion index at 2nd,5th and 10thmin. Near-infrared spectroscopy will be used to assess cerebral regional oxygen saturation.
