Summary

Umbilical cord blood (UCB) collection and storage is a rapidly advancing field in hematology due to UCB's use for treatment of many hematological diseases, including but not limited to, Fanconi anemia, thalassemia, leukaemia and metabolic storage diseases. Primarily, there are two ways for UCB harvesting, first in-utero collection and second ex-utero collection. Depending on the amount of UCB collected, in-utero harvesting practice prolongs the operative time of cesarean delivery and speculatively increases intraoperative blood loss. The aim of this study is to determine UCB collection's effect on intraoperative bleeding in women undergoing elective cesarean delivery.

Conditions

  • Cord Blood Collection
  • Cesarean

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Umbilical cord blood collection, in-utero

Umbilical cord blood was collected during cesarean, after delivery of the baby and after clamping of the cord. Blood was collected into a standard blood donation bag with (Capacity: 450 mL) a 16 G venipuncture needle. Needle was left in place after umbilical vein is collapsed and no more blood flow happens spontaneously.
