Abstract
Commentary: Enhanced Monitoring of the Preterm Infant during Stabilization in the Delivery Room.
Highlights
Darlington Memorial Hospital, Darlington, UK Keywords: neonatal heart rate, first minute after birth, Doppler ultrasound, auscultation, caesarean section
Finn et al present an excellent summary of current and emerging methods by which to monitor preterm infants during stabilization in the delivery room, but I disagree with their characterization of the usefulness of Doppler ultrasound, and they fail to comment on the impact of delayed cord clamping on heart rate in the first minutes of postnatal life
There is a clear need for such monitoring in the preterm infant, the same standards have to be available for every neonate in whom assistance during stabilization is being considered
