Initiation of Resuscitation While Attached to the Cord With Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia (INSPIRE-CDH)

October 1, 2019 updated by: University of Alberta

Initiation of Resuscitative Care While on Placental Circulation for Infants With Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia - a Randomized Pilot Trial

This study aims to measure the cardio-respiratory physiological consequences of initiating resuscitation during placental transfusion (PT) with an intact umbilical cord in infants with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH). PT, mainly via delayed cord clamping, has been shown to offer a higher circulating blood volume, less need for blood transfusion, less need for inotropes in infants.

Currently infants with CDH receive immediate cord clamping (ICC) to facilitate immediate resuscitation including immediate intubation and mechanical ventilation.

With the development of a resuscitation platform (iNSPiRE), resuscitative care can now be commenced from birth in infants with CDH to benefit from PT.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Ventilatory support while attached to the cord
Infants will receive active resuscitative care (intubation and ventilation) using a specific designed platform for 120 seconds during delayed cord clamping. Then the cord will be clamped forgoing resuscitation care.

Active Comparator: Immediate cord clamping
Infants will receive immediate cord clamping, transferred to the resuscitation table, intubated and mechanical ventilated according to our current Congenital Diaphragm Hernia protocol.
