NCT ID NCT05507424
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Apr 30, 2026 · Updated 24 times
Summary
This study looks at whether placing a premature baby on their belly (prone) or back (supine) during delayed cord clamping helps them breathe better and reduces the need for a breathing tube. About 89 preterm infants will be randomly assigned to one of the two positions while still attached to the umbilical cord for 30-60 seconds after birth. The goal is to find the safest position to improve oxygen flow and reduce breathing complications.
