Brief Summary

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

To compare the short term risks and benefits of cord milking 5 times toward the neonate with delayed cord clamping for 120 seconds in the full term neonate delivered by cesarean section.

Detailed Description

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

Abstract Context: milking of the umbilical cord toward the neonate 5 times and delayed cord clamping both are good procedures to prevent anemia in neonates .

Objective: To investigate the effects of delayed umbilical cord clamping for 120 seconds, compared with milking of the cord 5 times toward the neonate on hemoglobin level after 6 weeks, Intubation,Respiratory distress,Clinical jaundice,Neonatal Intensive Care unit (NICU) admission,Apgar score (after 5 minutes of delivery).

-Maternal,Need for blood transfusion,Additional need for therapeutic uterotonics,Post postpartum hemorrhage (blood loss \> 500cc),Intensive Care unit admission.

Design: Randomized controlled trial. Setting: Ain Shams university maternity hospital. Participants:300 full term infants born after a low risk pregnancy by cesarean section delivery.

Intervention: Infants were randomized to delayed umbilical cord clamping (≥120 seconds after delivery) or cord milking (5 times to ward the neonate).
