Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Respiratory Distress; Hypoglycemia

• Registration Number: NCT00322660
• Lead Sponsor: Hvidovre University Hospital

Brief Summary

Children born after elective C-section have a greater risk of respiratory problems and hypoglycemia - most likely due to a lower concentration of stress hormones compared to children born vaginally. Hypothesis: can we eliminate or reduce the risk of respiratory distress and hypoglycaemia by administrating adrenaline to the newborn.
