Effect of timing of umbilical cord clamping on neonatal hemoglobin level
Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Gynaecology - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 1
Abstract
Anemia is common among children in developing countries. In the National Family Health Survey III of India 70% of children were anemic. Anemia during infancy and early childhood has been shown to affect cognitive brain function. A total of 110 subjects were divided into 2 groups as early and delayed cord clamping. There was a significant increase in delayed clamping group in haemoglobin levels after 48 hours with p-value.0001. A brief delay in clamping of the umbilical cord after birth offers health benefits to the newborn with no adverse effects to the mother or infant.
