Abstract
Introduction: Cord clamping is part of active management of the third stage of labour, a package of care aimed at reducing the risk of postpartum haemorrhage for the women. Aim of the Work: This study aims to compare the effect of Milking of umbilical cord versus delayed cord clamping on infant Hemoglobin level at months from delivery. Patients and Methods: The current study was conducted at EL Galaa Teaching Hospital during the period between 10/12/ 2015 and 29/3/2016. A total of 250 pregnant women were included in the current study Study design: It was a randomized control study, to compare the effect of Milking of umbilical cord versus delayed cord clamping on infant Hemoglobin level at 6 weeks after delivery. Population: The study included 250 pregnant women starting from ≥ 37 weeks gestational age attending at El Galaa teaching hospital. Results: there was a significant statistical difference between cases delivered by milking umbilical cord and those delivered by delayed umbilical cord in hemoglobin after 6weeks but this deference is not important clinically, regarding the hemoglobin level. Conclusion: Milking cord blood clamping improves certain hematologic parameters for neonates, which is potentially important in populations with high rates of neonatal and childhood anemia. Delayed cord blood clamping may not be feasible in clinical situations when neonatal resuscitation is urgent. Recommendations: UCM can be used in term neonates as a routine or in conditions where DCC is not feasible. In cases when the neonate requires resuscitation then UCM can be done by the neonatal team attending the baby at delivery.
