Summary

This study looks at whether keeping the umbilical cord intact while helping a newborn breathe (instead of clamping it right away) improves heart and lung function in full-term babies born with a rare hole in the diaphragm called congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH). About 180 babies will be randomly assigned to one of two approaches at birth. The goal is to see if the intact-cord method leads to better Apgar scores, which measure how well a baby is adapting after delivery.
