Summary

To investigate the effect of umbilical cord milking (UCM) on peripheral hematologic parameters including hematopoietic progenitor cells in premature infants ≤ 34 weeks gestational age with placental insufficiency. We hypothesize that UCM would enhance peripheral CD34 concentration, hemoglobin and reduce prematurity complications like NEC and IVH in preterm infant ≤ 34 week gestational age with placental insufficiency.

Conditions

  • Placental Insufficiency
  • Preterm Infant

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Umbilical Cord Milking

Umbilical cord milking (UCM) is typically performed by placing the infant below the level of the placenta. The cord is held at 20-25 cm distance from the baby and milked vigorously towards the umbilicus for 3 times at a speed of 10 cm/sec. After completion, the cord is clamped, and the neonate is handed to the resuscitation team.
