Belly vs. back: finding the best position for preterm Babies' first moments

NCT ID NCT05507424

Summary

This study aims to find the best position for preterm babies during the first minute after birth when the umbilical cord is still attached. Researchers are testing whether placing babies on their stomachs (prone) or backs (supine) during this time helps them breathe better and reduces the need for a breathing tube. The goal is to improve early care for very premature infants.
