Abstract:BackgroundDelivery room management (DR) of the newly born infant should be performed according to international guidelines, but no recommendations are available for an infant’s position immediately after birth. The present study was performed to answer the following questions: 1. How often is DR-management performed in term infants in side position? 2. Is routine DR-management possible in side position? 3. Is there any benefit of side position with respect to agitation or vital parameters?MethodsCross-sectiona… Show more
“…The section of the recorded image was chosen in such a way as to hide the identity of the caretaker. In the present study, all recordings of planned c-section of term and preterm infants born between January 2012 and April 2013 were analyzed [11,12].…”

“…The video analysis of the recorded videos was performed using the software Interact (Mangold International GmbH, Arnstorf, Germany), an observation-based software [11,12]. Analysis started with the arrival of the newborn at the reanimation table.…”

“…Video recording of DR management was performed by two webcameras (Microsoft Corporation, Redmond, USA) as described previously [11,12]. One camera was attached on the upper left side of the radiant warmer and one in front of the pulse oximeter monitor.…”
Suctioning of newborns in the delivery room does not adhere to recommendations of international guidelines. However, previously described side effects of suctioning could not be confirmed.

“…In a retrospective study of video recordings of newly born term infants in the delivery room (DR), Kostantelos found a trend to higher oxygen saturation (SpO 2 ) and less agitation in infants placed on their side compared with their back 15. The effect of position on oxygenation of newborns in the DR has not previously been evaluated in a randomised controlled trial.…”
“…Placing preterm infants on their side appears to improve oxygenation and breathing patterns after1 2 and at birth 3. Current neonatal guidelines do not recommend any particular position,4 but previous guidelines5 6 suggested that infants could either be placed on their back or their sides during resuscitation or stabilisation.…”
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
