The purpose of this study is to examine whether providing ventilation during delayed
umbilical cord clamping provides greater placental transfusion and improved hemodynamic
transition at birth.

Subjects will receive 1 minute of delayed cord clamping in both arms. One arm will receive
routine care, warm dry and stimulate during the 1 minutes transfusion. The second arm will
receive routine care PLUS administration of CPAP and if need positive pressure ventilation.
The outcome is to determine whether the addition of ventilation provides a larger placental
transfusion and a smoother transition at birth.

Inclusion Criteria:

- Gestational Age: Women admitted 23+0 to 31+6 weeks (Reason: Highest risk for IVH)

Exclusion Criteria:

- Gestational Age: Parents decline consent (Reason: Can only perform intervention at
time of delivery)

- Congenital anomalies of newborn (Reason: Exclude the effect of abnormal hematological
function)

- Placental abruption (Reason: Exclude pregnancies at risk for hemorrhage at the time
of delivery)

- Twin to twin transfusion (Reason: Exclude possible loss of blood from other twin
during delayed cord clamping)

- Placenta Accreta

- Prolonged premature rupture of membranes (> 2 weeks) prior to 23 weeks gestation
