Study Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the intervention of delaying cord clamping for 30 to 45 seconds followed by one milking of the cord while simultaneously lowering the VLBW infants below the introitus will result in less bleeding in the brain and fewer infections while in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) and better motor skills at 7 months corrected age. The investigators will attempt to identify the mechanisms of effect through measurement of biologic markers.

Interventions

  • PROCEDURE delayed umbilical cord clamping
  • OTHER Immediate cord clamping
