staff can do this to allow for continued blood flow from the placenta to the baby during delivery
delayed cord clamping
effects of umbilical cord clamping
increases systemic vasc. resistance leading to DV constriction
very preterm week range
week 20 to 32
moderate preterm range
week 32 to 34
late preterm range
34 - 37 week
increases end-expiratory lung volume
grunting
tx for apnea d/t prematurity
