The influence of umbilical cord milking on important clinical outcomes of preterm infants / 中华实用儿科临床杂志

ABSTRACT

Placental blood transfusion can be achieved by delayed cord clamping and umbilical cord milking.The World Health Organization has proposed delayed cord clamping as the standard care for newborns that do not require resuscitation.In recent years, umbilical cord milking has become an alternative to delayed cord clamping due to the short duration, quick recovery of the fetus after delivery, and similar effect on placental blood transfusion to that of the delayed cord clamping.This study aims to summarize the research results of the two intervention methods, and their potential benefits and risks, aiming to provide references for the optimal umbilical cord cutting.
