Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

RESEARCH HYPOTHESIS Brief delay(\>30 sec to \<60 sec ) in cord clamping as compared to early cord clamping (\< 20 sec) leads to a better short term neurobehavioural outcome in preterm (34-36 wks) neonates when assessed by neurobehavioral assessment of preterm infants (n.a.p.i.) at 37 weeks of post conceptional age

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Delayed cord clamping (DCC) : Well described phenomenon in term infants .

* The optimal timing of clamping of umbilical cord in preterm infants : A subject of debate.
* Even a brief delay in cord clamping leads to an additional transfer of iron amounting to 40-50 mg/kg which may prevent iron deficiency.¹
* This low cost intervention can have significant public health importance in resource constrained settings.
* The effect of this intervention on neurobehaviour of preterm neonates has not been assessed.
* This aspect has been identified by WHO and Cochrane as a potentially researchable area
