Supine versus Prone Position during Delayed Cord Clamping in Infants ≥36 Weeks: A Randomized Trial.

Objective: There is no recommendation in the literature on optimal positioning of the newborn immediately at birth during delayed cord clamping. To evaluate if prone positioning on the mother's chest at birth during delayed cord clamping leads to a higher hematocrit at 30 hours of life compared to supine positioning.

Study Design: A randomized unblinded trial comparing prone and supine position of the newborn before umbilical cord clamping.

Effect of an audience on trainee stress and performance during simulated neonatal intubation: a randomized crossover trial.

Background: Neonatal intubation is a stressful procedure taught to trainees. This procedure can attract additional observers. The impact of observers on neonatal intubation performance by trainees has not been studied.

Temperature Probe Placement during Preterm Infant Resuscitation: A Randomised Trial.

Background: Hypothermia on admission to intensive care is associated with poor outcomes in preterm infants. The neonatal resuscitation program recommends the use of servo-control thermoregulation during resuscitation. Very little evidence exists to guide optimal temperature probe placement in the delivery room.

Hypoglycemia in term newborns with a birth weight below the 10th percentile.

Background: Current recommendations suggest that routine screening for hypoglycemia should be performed in all term newborns with a birth weight (BW) below the 10th percentile. The impact of updated growth curves on the incidence of hypoglycemia in small-for-gestational-age (SGA) newborns has not been evaluated.

Objectives: To evaluate the occurrence and severity of hypoglycemia in term newborns with a BW between the 10th and fifth percentile, and below the fifth percentile, using recently updated growth curves.
