Staff providing care may have modified their behaviour according to randomisation group.īlinding of outcome assessment (detection bias) There is no information about whether allocation was concealed.īlinding of participants and personnel (performance bias)įor this type of intervention blinding participants and the staff present at the birth to the group allocation is not possible. Randomisation occurred quote: “just before delivery”. It was not clear how this sequence was generated. For stratification gestational age and type of birth "were taken account of". Quote: “Randomisation was performed by a stratified randomisation list, just before delivery”. Random sequence generation (selection bias) N Aladangady kindly provided additional information regarding this study. Infant blood volume after birth was reported as DCC 74.4 (SD 11.5) and ECC 62.7 (SD 7.8), but this is not one of the review's pre‐specified outcomes.

Scotland.ĭCC: 2 infants required assisted ventilation with an endotracheal tube, 7 infants received facemask ventilation and 14 facial oxygen before clamping of the cord. There is no overlap in the data reported, as this paper reports results for a different centre.
Ten thumbs waiting in vain trial#
Same protocol for a multicentre trial as Baenziger 2007. Trial funding source: quote: "Well Being,” a research grant from the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, for invaluable financial assistance." Setting: Tertiary Perinatal Centre, Queen Mother’s Hospital, Glasgow, UK Red cell volume measured at 4 hrs of age. Uterotonic: before cord clamping (with delivery of presenting part at CS) but no mention of when at vaginal births and it may not have been givenĭCC with neonatal resuscitation with cord intact (subgroup by gestation)ĭCC with neonatal resuscitation with cord intact (subgroup by type of intervention) Resuscitation with cord intact: yes ‐ available If CS, mother received 5 IU syntocinon intravenously at delivery of presenting part Infant held as low as the cord length allowed Known major malformation, haemolytic disease, intrauterine transfusion.

Mother‐infant pairs at 24 weeks to 32 weeks' gestation Randomised controlled trial, stratified randomisation list for gestational age group (24‐26, 27‐29, 30‐32 weeks) and mode of birth (vaginal/caesarean).
