Randomized Controlled TrialNeonatal Resuscitation with an Intact Cord: A Randomized Clinical Trial.
To assess whether providing ventilation during delayed cord clamping (V-DCC) increases placental transfusion compared with delayed cord clamping alone (DCC only). ⋯ V-DCC was feasible but did not lead to any measurable clinical improvements immediately after delivery or reduce subsequent neonatal morbidity. Caretakers should consider providing adequate stimulation before cord clamping.

Randomized Controlled TrialEffect of Delayed Cord Clamping on Systemic Blood Flow: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
To determine whether delayed cord clamping improves systemic blood flow compared with immediate cord clamping in very preterm infants in the first 24 hours. ⋯ Delayed cord clamping had no effect on systemic blood flow measured as mean lowest SVC flow in the first 24 hours in infants <30 weeks' gestation.
