Umbilical cord (UC) alterations are involved in fetal and neonatal complications, and even deaths. Abnormal length has been recognized as the most important UC feature linked to unfavorable results. However, how can the UC be accurately measured in cases in which there is an overriding need for intravenous intervention, urgent lab samples or segments for stem cell cultivation?
We performed an observational study to describe our UC length measurement method at the San Ignacio University Hospital (HUSI).
All HUSI obstetricians and pediatricians accepted the new rapid cord measurement method; no delays were reported for either maternal or neonatal care.
In light of the association of abnormal UC length to complications, we recommend that complete UC length data be registered. Our new and rapid method allows for any UC intervention to be performed, while at the same time, providing precise UC length data under all circumstances.
脐带(UC)异常与胎儿及新生儿并发症甚至死亡有关。脐带长度异常被认为是与不良后果相关的最重要的脐带特征。然而,在迫切需要进行静脉干预、紧急采集实验室样本或获取用于干细胞培养的脐带段的情况下,如何准确测量脐带呢?
我们进行了一项观察性研究,以描述我们在圣伊格纳西奥大学医院(HUSI)测量脐带长度的方法。
所有HUSI的产科医生和儿科医生都接受了新的快速脐带测量方法;未报告对产妇或新生儿护理有任何延误。
鉴于脐带长度异常与并发症之间的关联,我们建议记录完整的脐带长度数据。我们新的快速方法允许进行任何脐带干预,同时在所有情况下都能提供精确的脐带长度数据。
