Brief Summary   This is a randomized controlled trial with blinding in preterm neonates 28 to 33 6/7 weeks gestation needing resuscitation at birth to study whether resuscitating them with room air (21% oxygen) decrease the plasma 15-F2t-isoprostane levels (measure of oxidative stress) at 4 hours of life by at least 30% in comparison to 100% oxygen. This study will be conducted in a single center in India and has planned to enroll 124 preterm neonates for this purpose after obtaining an informed written consent. The primary outcome measure will be Plasma 15-F2t-isoprostane levels at 4 hours of life. The major secondary outcomes will be Plasma 15-F2t-isoprostane levels at 72 hours of life, MDA levels at 4 hrs and 72 hours of life, Blood gas parameters (pH, pO2, pCO2, SBE) at 1,4,12 and 24 hours of life, Apgar scores at 5, 10, 15 and 20 minutes of life, Time to normalization of heart rate (>100/minute), heart rate and SpO2 changes in first 30 minutes of life, Time to first breath, Time to achieve regular respiration, Mortality till 40 weeks of postmenstrual age, Incidences of hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE), Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), and retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), duration of oxygen, duration of ventilation, abnormal neurological examination at 40 weeks of postmenstrual age.
