About this study

The aim of this study is to determine the effect of repetitive tactile stimulation compared to selective stimulation on oxygenation of the infant at 5 minutes after birth. Infants born before 32 weeks of gestation will be included in this trial. This is a stepped-wedge cluster randomised controlled trial. The participating centre, rather than the individual infant, will be the unit of randomisation. This design is appropriate to test the effect of an intervention that encompasses a behavioral aspect - in this case the performance of tactile stimulation.
