Summary

The management of the third stage of labour plays a critical role in neonatal transition. Uninterrupted Intact Cord Clamping (UICC), is a clinical approach where the umbilical cord remains unclamped until the placenta is spontaneously expelled. This method aims to facilitate the maximum physiological transfer of placental blood to the newborn.

While Delayed Cord Clamping (DCC)-typically defined as clamping between 1 and 3 minutes or until pulsations cease-is widely supported by literature for its ability to improve neonatal iron stores and reduce morbidity and mortality without increasing maternal-foetal risk, there is currently a lack of robust evidence regarding the systematic practice of Uninterrupted Intact Cord Clamping (UICC), defined as clamping only after placental delivery. This gap in the literature necessitates a thorough investigation into the potential benefits and safety of UICC.
