Placental Transfusion in the 'Natural' Delivery: Effect of Early and Late Umbilical Cord Clamping

NCT04459442 · Status: UNKNOWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 90

Last updated 2021-09-16

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The investigators conducted a randomized controlled trial (parallel group study with 1:1 randomisation) comparing early cord clamping (ECC, at 60 seconds) and delayed cord clamping (DCC, at 180 seconds) in 90 cases of 'normal', two-step vaginal deliveries. DCC may result in a higher blood volume in the newborn, facilitating the maternal-placental-fetal exchange of circulating compounds, without potentially detrimental acidosis.
