Delayed umbilical cord clamping offers benefits for newborns when no hypoxia is present. This practice allows for improved iron levels and hematocrit, potentially reducing the risk of anemia in infants.

Area of Science:

Obstetrics and Neonatal Care
Perinatal Medicine

Context:

Immediate umbilical cord clamping is a standard obstetric practice.
Questions arise regarding the optimal timing of cord clamping in uncomplicated births.
Delayed clamping may offer physiological benefits to the newborn.

Purpose:

To compare the benefits of delayed umbilical cord clamping versus immediate clamping.
To review current evidence on the effects of umbilical cord tying timing.

Summary:

A bibliographical review of controlled and aleatorial clinical trials was conducted.
Searched Medline and Cochrane Library databases for studies over the past 16 years.
Keywords included umbilical cord tying, hyperbilirubinemia, anemia, and hematocrit.
