Randomized Controlled Trial
Immediate skin-to-skin contact versus care under radiant warmer at birth in moderate to late preterm neonates- A randomized controlled trial.
To compare the effect of immediate care at birth in skin-to-skin contact (SSC) or under a radiant warmer on cardiorespiratory stability at 60 minutes of age in moderate-to-late preterm neonates. ⋯ It was feasible to provide immediate care at birth in moderate and late preterm neonates while being positioned in SSC with the mother. However, in comparison to care under a radiant warmer, this did not lead to better cardiorespiratory stability at 60 minutes of age.

To investigate the effect of tandem use of transient balloon occlusion of the descending aorta (AO) and percutaneous left ventricular assist device (pl-VAD) during cardiopulmonary resuscitation in a large animal model of prolonged cardiac arrest. ⋯ Combined AO and pL-VAD improved CPR hemodynamics compared to either intervention alone in this swine model of prolonged cardiac arrest.
