Placental transfusion in preterm neonates / 中华围产医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Placental transfusion is a key procedure for maintaining a steady transition from intrauterine to extrauterine environment in preterm neonates, which could be more likely to meet the requirements of postnatal hemodynamic changes for these babies and was mainly achieved by delayed cord clamping, umbilical cord milking and extrauterine placental transfusion. We summarize the influence factors, benefits and risks of these three measures of placental transfusion in preterm infants to promote the standardized application in clinical management.
