Effect of Timing of Umbilical Cord Clamping on Neonatal Jaundice in Preterm Newborns between Gestational Age 32-36 Weeks: An Observational Study
Abstract: There is concern regarding safety of delayed cord clamping in preterm newborns. Thus, Aa hospital based prospective, observational study on vaginally delivered stable babies between 32 to 36 weeks gestation born to mothers with no apparent co-morbid illness and complicationswas done. Timing of cord clamping was noted and 100 newborns subjected to DCC (>30sec till 180sec) or ECC (0.001). Results showed no increased risk of hyperbilirubinemia in DCC group. Mean Hct at 6weeks in ECC and DCC group was 30.47% and 38.17% respectively (p
