No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This study is conducted to evaluate if the prone position of the newborn on the chest of his mother at birth before delayed cord clamping leads to better hematocrit and hemoglobin at 24-48 hours of life compared to supine position.

Conditions

  • Newborn; Anemia
  • Umbilical Cord Problem

Interventions

PROCEDURE

supine or prone position

Before delivery, a sealed enveloppe is opened by the physician or nurse present at delivery. Immediately at birth the team in charge of delivery place the newborn in skin to skin contact on the mother's chest where he is dried. Umbilical cord clamping is delayed in both intervention arms to 1 minute after birth. The newborn is placed in the prone or in the supine position depending on allocation. The nurse in charge of the newborn uses a stopwatch to check the time at which clamping was accomplished. All subsequent nursery care are conducted according to hospital protocol.
