Martin Kluckow

Martin Kluckow is a Professor of Neonatology at the Northern Clinical School, University of Sydney. His research focuses on neonatal hemodynamics, cardiovascular transition at birth, and preterm infant care, particularly through interventions like delayed cord clamping and targeted echocardiography. He has extensive clinical expertise in neonatal resuscitation and point-of-care ultrasound.

His research explores the pathophysiology of low systemic blood flow in preterm infants, ductus arteriosus management, and ventilation strategies to minimize brain injury. He has led multicenter clinical trials like the Australian Placental Transfusion Study (APTS) and investigated oxygenation dynamics and inflammatory responses in preterm models.

Recent publications emphasize delayed cord clamping (2025, 2022), echocardiographic applications (2024, 2018), and POCUS protocols (2023) for critical neonatal care. His work spans animal models (preterm lambs) and human clinical trials, addressing barriers to pulse oximetry screening and maternal interventions like oxytocin's impact on cord clamping (2021).

He has collaborated on international consensus statements (2023) and contributed to pediatric therapy guidelines (2006). His studies often involve neonatal cardiovascular function, lung aeration, and maternal-fetal medicine intersections.
