Transplacental oxygen transfer during physiological-based cord clamping in preterm lambs
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This study investigated transplacental oxygen transfer during physiological-based cord clamping in preterm lambs. During physiological-based cord clamping, ventilating newborn lambs reduced oxygen uptake across the placenta and that ventilation with high oxygen (1.0 [Formula: see text]) reversed the oxygen gradient, resulting in newborn to mother oxygen transfer. Our findings indicate that the mother can act as an "oxygen sink" that protects the newborn from excess oxygen during physiological-based cord clamping.
