Respiratory support vs no respiratory support before cord clamping

Severe intraventricular haemorrhage · preterm infants

It is very uncertain whether respiratory support changes severe intraventricular haemorrhage grade 3 or 4 compared with no respiratory support before cord clamping (very low certainty).
