Infants randomized into the "CC+SI group" will receive a SI with a PIP of 25-30 cmH2O while receiving chest compression. The SI will be delivered over a period of 45 seconds. This will be followed by PEEP of 5-8 cm water to perform an assessment of the newborn's heart rate. If heart rate is >60/min continue with standard care as per local hospital policy (standard hospital practice guideline). If heart rate remains <60/min continue with CC+SI for another 45sec at which time a further assessment should be performed. If heart rate remains <60/min continue with CC+SI.

Infants randomized into the "3:1 C:V group" will receive CC at a rate of 90/min and 30 ventilations/min in a 3:1 C:V ratio as recommended by the current resuscitation guidelines.

Heart Arrest

Birth Asphyxia

Bradycardia

chest compression will be delivered during sustained inflation (CC+SI). The duration of each sustain inflation is 20sec. After 20sec a pause of 1sec id done before the next sustained inflation is delivered for another 20sec. Chest compressions are given continuously. This approach is continued until return of spontaneous circulation.

CC+SI

During 3:1 C:V. 3 chest compressions are given, then stopped and then 1 inflation is given. This approach is continued until return of spontaneous circulation.

Epo is administered 1000 U/kg, iv in 48 hours after premature birth, and at 48 hours interval for 3 doses per week. After 6 doses, Subcutaneously 3 doses per week until at corrected age of 34 weeks.

Normal saline is administered 5ml, iv at 3 to 6 hours after premature birth, and at 48 hours interval for 3 doses per week. After 6 doses, Subcutaneously 3 doses per week until at corrected age of 34 weeks.

Premature Infant

Epo is administered 1000 U/kg, iv in 48 hours after premature birth, and at 48 hours interval for 3 doses per week. After 6 doses, subcutaneously 400 U/Kg per injection and 3 doses per week until at corrected age of 34 weeks.

Erythropoietin in Premature Infants to Prevent Encephalopathy

Erythropoietin in Premature Infants to Prevent Encephalopathy: A Multi-Centre Randomized Blinded Controlled Study of the Efficacy of Erythropoietin in China

To evaluate neurodevelopmental function via Bayley Scores of Infant Development Mental Development Index (BSID) and gain incidence of MDI<70(Severe) or MDI<85(Moderate).

To gain changes in standardized gross motor function using GMFM (Gross Motor Function Measure) as a standardized measurement tool for assessing Gross Motor Function consisting of sub-scales, lying & rolling, sitting, crawling & kneeling, standing, walking, running & jumping (range: 0~100 , Higher value means better gross motor function).

To compare changes in brain as measured by MRI in Epo treatment and control groups at 9 months.

To compare changes in brain as measured by MRI in Epo treatment and control groups at 18 months.

To compare changes in brain electrophysiology by SSEP at 36 weeks.

To compare changes in brain electrophysiology by SSEP at 18 months.

To compare changes in brain electrophysiology by VEP at 36 weeks.

To compare changes in brain electrophysiology by VEP at 18 months.

To compare changes in brain electrophysiology by BAER at 36 weeks.

To compare changes in brain electrophysiology by BAER at 18 months.

To gain the incidence of Polycythemia, neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, hypertension, sepsis, intraventricular hemorrhage(IVH), periventricular leukomalacia(PVL), seizure, necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), persistent ductus arterious (PDA), apnea of prematurity, pulmonary haemorrhage, pulmonary hypertension, Prolonged blood coagulation time, retinopathy of prematurity(ROP), cardiac arrhythmia, major venous thrombosis, Renal failure treated with dialysis, pneumonia, pulmonary airleak and chronic lung disease.

Biomarkers for Oxidative Stress, Inflammation and immune response as a measure of efficacy of erythropoietin for hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy.
