Summary

This study looks at whether fluid taken from a newborn's stomach right after birth can help predict if they will need breathing support for more than 6 hours. Researchers will test the fluid with a special device and compare the results to what actually happens. The goal is to improve care for babies born at 32 weeks or later in hospitals with limited newborn intensive care resources.
