Timing of Umbilical Cord Clamping: One to Three Minutes vs. After Cessation of Cord Pulsation
Conditions: Umbilical Cord
Sex: Female
Healthy volunteers: Yes
Phase: NA
Enrollment: 580
Sponsor: Instituto Materno Infantil Prof. Fernando Figueira
Location: Instituto Materno Infantil Prof. Fernando Figueira Recife Pernambuco
Summary
The timing of umbilical cord clamping has been widely discussed in the scientific community.
As part of the worldwide strategies to reduce childhood iron deficiency anemia, the incorporation of late clamping (at least one minute after delivery), has been adopted as an effective and low-cost measure for health services.
The optimal timing for clamping, ( if until 3 minutes of delivery, or later, when the cord stops spontaneous pulse), still remains controversial.
Also, doubts remain about the effect of late clamping of the umbilical cord on maternal outcomes.
This study has the hypothesis that waiting for the cessation of the cord pulsation will not bring harm to the newborn or the mother.
