Apollo 13 was a great movie about a monumental moment in history. The Concord Birth Flow doesn’t promise space travel, but it does promise newborns the safest launch into life, reassuringly connected to mom. Now that’s truly epic. Want something else that’s out of this world? The independent study results will soon be published. Simply comment ‘countdown’ and we’ll notify you. concord_movie_campaign__apollo_13 (360p).mp4

What are the commonly defined contra-indications for Physiological-Based Cord Clamping and are these actual contra-indications? In our next Concord Talk, Dr.med. Anja Stein, a leading neonatologist at the University Hospital in Essen Germany, will be sharing her experience of performing PBCC in cases that some other hospitals have defined as contra-indications, for example placenta praevia and multiples. The experience of the University Hospital Essen triggers an interesting discussion regarding what the actual contra-indications of PBCC are. We invite you to actively contribute to exchange knowledge and experience. Sign up, together with your collaegues, to join the conversation: https://concordneonatal.com/concord-talk/

How to succesfully prepare for and perform Physiological-Based Cord Clamping in severely ill neonates? What can we learn from hospitals that have gained valuable experience in the past years? In our next Concord Talk on September 13, three Concord Community members will share their knowledge and experience and discuss remarkable case studies: - Dr. Silke Brodkorb, München Klink: Neonate with hydrops - Dr. Neirude Lissone, Maastricht UMC: Preterm neonate with a chylothorax - Dr. Katharina Schwendener-Scholl, Luzerner Kantonsspital: Term neonate with a cyctic CPAM Each speaker will be discussing the specific case, how the team prepared, discuss the workflow and lessons learned. There will be plenty of time for questions and discussions. Signup here to join the live meeting: https://concordneonatal.com/concord-talk/

Why is it so important to keep the baby close to mom and what are the negative consequences of separating the baby from it's mother immediately after birth? Our next Concord Talk on June 7 will focus on the science and latest insights of these important questions, presented by Dr. Nils Bergman. In this Talk, Dr. Bergman will present the key aspects of "Nurturescience", followed by the science behind Zero Separation and the adverse consequences of maternal-infant separation.

The KJF Klinik Josefinum in Augsburg is a hospital for children, adolescents and women. Under the leadership of the head of the NICU department, Dr. Thomas Völkl, the team has implemented the Concord Birth Flow more than 6 months ago and have gained their first experience. In this Concord Talk, obstetrician Dr. Birgitt Magdziarz and neonatologists Dr. Sibylle Horsinka and Dr. Alexander Praus, will share their considerations and motivations for adopting the Concord Birth Flow, the key learnings gained in the implementation process, and their first-hand clinical experience using the Concord Birth Trolly.

Concord Neonatal is a proud supporter of the Bloodtobaby campaign from Hannah Tizard. Her website BloodtoBaby.com is dedicated to ‘physiological transition of the newborn with optimal cord clamping’ and features a full page on Intact Cord Resuscitation (https://www.bloodtobaby.com/resuscitation-with-intact-cord) Our CEO, Rianne Rotink, shares her latest personal insights and knowledge about stabilization with intact cord and physiological based cord clamping, in blogposts featured on Bloodtobaby.com. In her latest blogpost she shares new considerations of thought around the mechanism of placental transfusion and spontaneous breathing and introduces some of the very latest research: https://www.bloodtobaby.com/post/don-t-rely-on-the-pulsating-cord Let us know what your thoughts are on these insights!

Do you want learn from your peers why and how they have implemented the Concord Birth Flow and how they are performing 1,5 years after implementation? Join our Concord Talk on November 2, by Dr. Nina Höller, Prof. Berndt Urlesberger and the neonatology team from the University Hospital Graz. Stabilizing the baby with an intact cord is a hot topic. More and more hospitals are starting to understand the potential benefits and are considering next steps. Now, with over 20 hospitals already performing the Concord Birth Flow, it’s the right time to hear from those pioneers about their experience, to help others implement it in clinical practice. In our next Concord Talk, neonatologists from the University Hospital Graz will be sharing practical aspects, experience and key learnings of implementing and performing Physiological-Based Cord Clamping with the Concord Birth Trolley.

On June 4th, 2021, Loet was born at Maxima Medical Centre in Veldhoven, The Netherlands, at 27 weeks and 2 days gestational age. Loet was supported on the Concord Birth Trolley immediately after birth, as part of the ABC3 study. The parents of Loet, Sten en Kim, are happy to share their experience: "We were able to see everything that was happening with our own eyes because Concord was literally next to our delivery bed. It was nice for us, as brand new parents, to be able to see exactly what was happening. It was also possible to put our hands on our baby to support him. We have felt very involved in the whole process and are very grateful for the participation in this study. We wish everyone to be able to experience a delivery like ours.” https://concordneonatal.com/news-and-events/parents-share-their-experience-we-wish-everyone-could-experience-this/

Do you want to know how to support and stabilize a newborn with an intact cord? Concord Neonatal is now organizing Concord Masterclass, where we demonstrate in a real life hospital setting, how delaying clamping of the umbilical cord can go hand in hand with supporting and stabilizing newborns immediately after birth, in a safe and effective way for mother and baby. Concord Masterclass is now going to tour. Several Masterclasses will be held in hospitals across Europe during the next months. For everyone who is interested to discover how to stabilize newborns with an intact cord, we offer the possibility to attend remotely. https://concordneonatal.com/news-and-events/concord-masterclass-on-tour Want to join, contact us: join@concordneonatal.com We are looking forward to meeting you in person in the next months!

More and more studies on the procedure of intact cord resuscitation and physiological-based cord clamping emerge. In this Talk, Dr. Ola Andersson will discuss whether we are sure enough of the positive effects to start implementing the procedure, or if, and what more could be needed. @olamedmac June 8th at 3:00 pm CEST.

We have developed an animation video explaining the physiology of transition, explaining the reason why the future is physiology based. Let the baby decide...

Do you want to have answers to important concerns obstetricians may have regarding intact cord stabilization? Join our Concord Talk on May 3 (@ 3pm CET), with Dr. Philip DeKoninck. Does delaying cord clamping up to 10 minutes affect maternal blood loss? Is there an increased risk of infection? Does the neonatal team obstruct the working field of obstetrics and possibly compromise care for the mother? All examples of important concerns that obstetric caregivers may have when considering to implement Physiological-Based Cord Clamping. In our next Concord Talk, Dr. Philip DeKoninck, gynecologist at Erasmus MC Rotterdam, will evaluate Physiological-Based Cord Clamping from the viewpoint of the obstetrician. He will be sharing the latest scientific evidence, addressing concerns the obstetric teams may have, and giving valuable tips and tricks when implementing stabilization with an intact cord.
