Immediate clamping of the umbilical cord has traditionally been recommended as part of active management of the third stage of labour together with a prophylactic uterotonic drug and controlled cord traction to reduce postpartum haemorrhage. Delayed umbilical cord clamping is associated with significant neonatal benefits in preterm infants including improved transitional circulation better establishment of red blood cell volume decreased need for blood transfusion and lower incidence of necrotizing enterocolitis and intraventricular hemorrhage. Umbilical cord clamping and skin-to-skin contact in deliveries from women positive for SARS-CoV-2.
A prospective observational study. Delayed cord clamping is the prolongation of the time between the delivery of a newborn and the clamping of the umbilical cord. Delayed umbilical cord clamping is usually performed 25 seconds to 5 minutes after giving birth.
DCC allows more blood to transfer from the placenta to the baby sometimes increasing the childs blood volume by up to a third. The iron in the blood increases the newborns iron. Delayed umbilical cord clamping is the practice of waiting 30 seconds to a few minutes after birth to clamp the umbilical cord.
Delayed cord clamping has benefits for both term and preterm babies. For term babies it boosts iron and antibodies. For preterm babies it may reduce some of the complications caused by being born too early.
For both the risk of jaundice is slightly higher with.
