Different Placental Transfusion Strategies and Their Effects on Short - Term Hematological Parameters in Term Infants

Background: Deferring the umbilical cord clamping produces more satisfactory neurological and hematological outcomes. Another alternative for deferred is milking. Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate different placental transfusion techniques in terms of parameters term neonates. Methods: observational included 120 infants assigned groups 60 seconds (DCC), cut milking four times with a speed 10 cm/second (CCM), intact (ICM), historical control group immediate (ICC). The primary outcome this was at birth 24th hours. Hyperbilirubinemia, polycythemia, or respiratory distress were secondary Results: median gestational ages weights neonates 39 (37 - 40) weeks 3270 (2365 4850) grams, respectively. Umbilical hemoglobin (Hb) hematocrit (Hct) levels significantly higher ICM (P < 0.01). Hemoglobin Hct hours life similar DCC, CCM, than those ICC No significant difference found among hyperbilirubinemia, distress. Conclusions: To best our knowledge, one most comprehensive studies evaluating effects strategies on first exploring infants. Intact suggested be associated birth. All ICM, CCM effective early parameters.
