Summary

This study looks at 140 babies born with a hole in their diaphragm (congenital diaphragmatic hernia). Doctors want to see if waiting to clamp the umbilical cord until after the baby's lungs have filled with air can lower the risk of dangerous high blood pressure in the lungs. The goal is to find a better way to stabilize these newborns right after birth.
