Funded Activity Summary

Using an established experimental model of preterm birth, this project will determine if delayed clamping of the umbilical cord at birth leads to better stability of the circulation than immediate clamping, and if this improved stability comes at a cost of not activating the involuntary nervous system essential for enhancing metabolic and lung function after birth. The results of this study will provide fundamental new information for optimizing birth delivery strategies in preterm babies.
