This study will assess the feasibilty measuring cerebral oxygen saturations using a Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) monitor immediately after delivery of preterm infants. The investigators aim to evaluate the effects of optimum cord management on cerebral oxygenation in this cohort
All babies eligible for optimum cord management born before 34 completed weeks gestational age
Parental consent
Multiple pregnancies
Infants for whom resuscitation at birth is not appropriate
Antenatal or immediate postnatal diagnosis of severe congenital anomaly
Infants with complex congenital cardiac disease
