Abstract
Background: Optimal starting oxygen concentration for delivery room resuscitation of extremely preterm infants (50%. Results: Thirty-four infants were born during a 4-month period; consent was obtained in 63%. Thirty (n = 12, 30% group; n = 18, 60% group) were analyzed, including limited data from eight who died or were transferred before parents could be approached. Median cumulative oxygen concentrations were significantly different between the two groups in the first 5 min. Conclusion: Randomized control trial of 30% or 60% oxygen at the initiation of resuscitation of extremely preterm neonates with deferred consent is feasible. Trial registration: Clinicaltrials.gov NCT03706586
