2021年12月22日 · Delayed cord clamping allows beneficial blood cells to get through the umbilical cord to your baby. An expert explains the pros and cons and considerations of delayed cord clamping.

2022年6月30日 · Delayed cord clamping may lessen the amount of cord blood to be stored or donated. Priority is given to your baby immediately following birth to receive the cord blood through delayed clamping of the umbilical cord.

2020年11月19日 · Delayed umbilical cord clamping appears to be beneficial for term and preterm infants. In term infants, delayed umbilical cord clamping increases hemoglobin levels at birth and improves iron stores in the first several months of life, which may have a favorable effect on developmental outcomes.

2023年8月9日 · The infant is usually separated from the placenta by clamping the umbilical cord. Early cord clamping is generally carried out in the first 60 seconds after birth, whereas later cord clamping is carried out more than one minute after the birth or when cord pulsation has ceased.

2019年5月24日 · Delayed cord clamping means the umbilical cord isn't clamped right after birth. Instead, it’s clamped and cut between one and three minutes after birth.

Delayed cord clamping is the prolongation of the time between the delivery of a newborn and the clamping of the umbilical cord. Delayed umbilical cord clamping is usually performed 25 seconds to 5 minutes after giving birth.

Umbilical cord milking is when the blood is manually pushed through the cord toward the infant before clamping and is sometimes considered for rapid blood transfer when a 30-60 second delay after birth is not possible.

Delayed cord clamping should be the standard of care in all birth settings for term and preterm newborns. In situations requiring resuscitation, umbilical cord milking may be of benefit when delayed cord clamping is not feasible, particularly for the preterm newborn.

Waiting to clamp the umbilical cord for 2–3 min, or until cord pulsations cease, allows a physiological transfer of placental blood to the infant (the process referred to as “placental transfusion”), the majority of which occurs within 3 min.

Early umbilical cord clamping (less than 1 min after birth) is not recommended unless the neonate is asphyxiated and needs to be moved immediately for resuscitation (strong recommendation). Delayed umbilical cord clamping (not earlier than 1 min after birth) is recommended for improved maternal and infant health and nutrition outcomes.
