简要总结
RESEARCH HYPOTHESIS Brief delay(>30 sec to <60 sec ) in cord clamping as compared to early cord clamping (< 20 sec) leads to a better short term neurobehavioural outcome in preterm (34-36 wks) neonates when assessed by neurobehavioral assessment of preterm infants (n.a.p.i.) at 37 weeks of post conceptional age
详细描述
Delayed cord clamping (DCC) : Well described phenomenon in term infants .
- The optimal timing of clamping of umbilical cord in preterm infants : A subject of debate.
- Even a brief delay in cord clamping leads to an additional transfer of iron amounting to 40-50 mg/kg which may prevent iron deficiency.¹
- This low cost intervention can have significant public health importance in resource constrained settings.
- The effect of this intervention on neurobehaviour of preterm neonates has not been assessed.
- This aspect has been identified by WHO and Cochrane as a potentially researchable area
