Sustained Cord Circulation at Emergency Cesarean Section

Sweden2,200 participantsStarted 2025-09-08

Plain-language summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate if sustained cord circulation during resuscitation improves outcomes for term neonates born by emergency Cesarean section. The main question it aims to answer is: Does sustained cord circulation reduce admission rates to neonatal care? Researchers will compare resuscitation with an uncut umblical cord to standard resuscitation practices to see if it provides better outcomes. Participants (term neonates born by emergency Cesarean section) will: Receive resuscitation with either sustained cord circulation or standard care Be monitored for admission to neonatal care and other predefined health outcomes
