Abstract

The timing for umbilical cord clamping (more specifically, immediate or early cord clamping versus delayed cord clamping) remains a controversial issue and a subject of continuing debate. Delayed cord clamping (DCC) has been shown to increase placental transfusion, leading to an increase in neonatal blood volume at birth of approximately 30%. In the term infant, although this may result in an increase in iron stores, thereby decreasing the risk of anemia, some studies shows increase the risk of jaundice and the need for phototherapy. In the preterm infant, DCC decreases the need for blood transfusions for anemia, the number of such transfusions and the risks of IVH (Intraventricular hemorrhage) and late-onset sepsis. Delayed cord clamping appears to be beneficial as compared to immediate cord clamping in term and preterm infants. The present review article taken in between (1993–2019).
