EARLY VERSUS DELAYED CORD CLAMPING AT BIRTH; IN SICKNESS AND IN HEALTH
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 08 October 2013
Extract
Third stage practice, including the timing of cord clamping and its impact on neonatal health, has been comprehensively reviewed previously by Downey and Bewley, and this opinion will focus on the evidence about neonatal transition which has been published since. Many professional organisations and experts recommend at least a 30-second delay before clamping the umbilical cord, especially after preterm births.
