Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2013, Vol 2, Issue 21
Abstract
[b]OBJECTIVE:[/b] To assess the effect of placental blood drainage on the third stage of labor. [b]METHOD[/b]: A prospective study was carried out on 100 women having vaginal delivery. In the study group (50 women), the placental end of the cut umbilical cord was unclamped immediately after cutting the cord and in the control group (50 women) it remained clamped. The duration of the third stage and amount of blood loss were noted. The result was analysed by t test.[b] RESULTS[/b]: The mean duration of the third stage was 4.14+/-1.67 minutes in the study group and 7.990+/-5.77 minutes in the control group. The average amount of blood loss was 209+/-56.07 ml in the study group and 241.27+/-94.70 in the control group. Retained placenta was reported in 3 cases in the control group and none in the study group. 3 patients in the control group had PPH, out of which 2 needed blood transfusions. [b]CONCLUSION[/b]: Placental blood drainage is a simple and effective method in decreasing the duration and amount of blood loss in the third stage of labor
