Surviving the transition to newborn life at birth is critically dependent upon a major re-organization of the infant’s circulation which is triggered by umbilical cord occlusion and the onset of air-breathing. This application is focused on investigating procedures that assist in stabilising the circulation during the newborn period and protect it from large swings in cardiac output and blood flow that have the potential to cause vascular-related injury in newborn infants.
