Reference Ranges for Preductal Oxygen Saturation and Heart Rate in Moderate and Late Preterm Infants with Deferred Cord Clamping
MLPT infants with DCC achieved stable SpO2 and HR significantly later, 6 min and 4 min, respectively, than term infants. In addition, 15% of MLPT infants did not achieve SpO2 ≥85% at 5 min after birth. However, admission to the NICU and clinical evolution did not differ from newborns with SpO2 ≥85% at 5 min. Larger studies including long-term follow-up are needed to assess if lower SpO2 in the first 5 min has clinical consequences in non-resuscitated MLPT.
