Abstract

Ventilation, Chest Compression and Placental Circulation at Neonatal Resuscitation – ILCOR Recommendation 2015

Highlights

  • The 2015 ILCOR systematic review states that delayed cord clamping “for longer than 30 seconds is reasonable for both term and preterm infants who do not require resuscitation at birth [1].”

  • Preterm infants will always require some degree of support or resuscitation at birth and the evidence of benefit of delayed cord clamping is clearest in these babies

  • When the heart rate falls below 60bpm the cardiac output is unlikely to maintain the circulation of the brain, lungs and coronary arteries adequately and chest compression is recommended
