Placental Transfusion in Term Infants: A Pilot Study

NCT01924572 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 32

Last updated 2013-08-16

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The proposed study is a pilot prospective controlled trial to measure the blood volume left in the placenta after varying cord clamping times when the infant is placed skin-to-skin on the maternal abdomen. Delaying cord clamping has been shown to decrease anemia in infants. However, the best way to get the most blood to the baby is not known. The practice of cord clamping at birth is not the same among doctors and midwives and we do not know the effect of putting he baby on the mother's abdomen.
