Official title
Efficacy of Intact Cord Resuscitation Compared to Immediate Cord Clamping on Cardiorespiratory Adaptation at Birth in Infants With Isolated Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia (CDH)
Overview
Isolated CDH is a rare disease (1/3500) and displays a wide range of severity and outcome. Despite attempts to standardize the management of this disease at birth and during the first months of life, the mortality varies from 20 to 50% according to different hospitals in France and abroad. Several studies already showed the benefice of late cord clamping at birth on biological and physiological adaptation of newborns to life. Previous works also suggest a possible benefit of this procedure for babies with CDH. This multicenter randomized clinical study aims to investigate the efficacy of intact cord resuscitation compared to immediate cord clamping on cardiorespiratory adaptation at birth in full term newborn infants with isolated CDH.
Interventions
- Procedure Immediate umbilical cord clamping
In the immediate cord clamping group, the umbilical cord will be clamped within the first 20 seconds after birth and the infant will be transferred to the resuscitation room. The newborn infant will be intubated and mechanically ventilated as quickly as possible on the resuscitation table as recommended in the French "Programme National de Soins". After cardiorespiratory stabilization (i.e. heart rate\>120/min, increasing preductal O2 saturation or achieving acceptable preductal SpO2 targets be - Procedure intact cord resuscitation
The umbilical cord will be kept intact during the initial phase of the resuscitation. The infant will be placed on a specifically designed compact trolley with a warmed platform, suitable for commencing resuscitation between the mother's legs in case of vaginal birth or near the operating table beside the mother in case of cesarean section. This trolley will be fully equipped for resuscitation, including a suction device, gas flowmeter/blender, ventilatory support, and monitoring system. Its hei
