Suitable oxygen levels to help small babies to breathe at birth

Completed
Conditions
Newborn affected by maternal complication of pregnancy, unspecified,
Registration Number

Brief Summary

Aim of the study:

To compare the effect of two different oxygen concentrations, i.e., 30% vs. 60% for initiation of delivery room stabilization in preterm neonates.



Hypothesis:

The present study is planned with a hypothesis that initiating delivery room stabilization with an oxygen concentration of 60% might increase the proportion of preterm neonates achieving a target oxygen saturation of ≥80% at 5 minutes, compared to an oxygen concentration of 30%, and lead to a better outcome. The present study may help to generate evidence for the use of optimal initial oxygen concentration for stabilizing preterm neonates at birth.
