The optimal time for umbilical cord clamping after delivery has been under debate for several decades. This study aimed to assess the time-dependent effects of umbilical cord clamping on maternal and neonatal outcomes.
An observational correlational design was used to recruit 161 pregnant women conveniently. Outcomes were observed and recorded using a structured checklist developed by the authors. Pregnant females aged ≥18 years, with uncomplicated delivery, and who were willing to participate were recruited. Exclusion criteria included stillbirths, newborns with congenital anomalies, newborns too small for their gestational age, intra-uterine growth restriction, nuchal cord, and meconium-stained liquor.
The mean age of the participants was 29.93 ± 6 years. Early clamping (<1 minute) was performed for 93.8% of the participants with a mean of 29.58 ± 18 seconds. Delayed clamping was associated with a decrease in blood loss and the length of hospital stay in addition to an increase in first-minute APGAR score and neonatal temperature (P < 0.05).
Delayed cord clamping was associated with improved maternal and neonatal outcomes.
分娩后脐带结扎的最佳时间已经争论了几十年。本研究旨在评估脐带结扎时间对母婴结局的影响。
采用观察性相关设计,方便地招募了161名孕妇。使用作者制定的结构化检查表观察并记录结局。招募年龄≥18岁、分娩无并发症且愿意参与的孕妇。排除标准包括死产、先天性异常新生儿、孕周过小的新生儿、宫内生长受限、脐带绕颈和羊水胎粪污染。
参与者的平均年龄为29.93±6岁。93.8%的参与者进行了早期结扎(<1分钟),平均时间为29.58±18秒。延迟结扎除了会增加出生后第一分钟的阿氏评分和新生儿体温外,还会减少失血和缩短住院时间(P<0.05)。
延迟脐带结扎与改善母婴结局相关。
