Placental Transfusion in the 'Natural' Delivery: Effect of Early and Late Umbilical Cord Clamping

Authors

Registry of Trialsclinicaltrials.gov
Year 2021
The investigators conducted a randomized controlled trial (parallel group study with 1:1 randomisation) comparing early cord clamping (ECC, at 60 seconds) and delayed cord clamping (DCC, at 180 seconds) in 90 cases of \'normal\', two-step vaginal deliveries. DCC may result in a higher blood volume in the newborn, facilitating the maternal-placental-fetal exchange of circulating compounds, without potentially detrimental acidosis.
