Fetal Circulation01:14

Fetal Circulation

Fetal circulation is a unique system that facilitates the exchange of gases, nutrients, and waste products between the developing fetus and the mother. This intricate process takes place through a special organ called the placenta.
Two umbilical arteries transport blood from the fetus to the placenta. At the placenta, the blood absorbs oxygen and nutrients while simultaneously eliminating waste products. This oxygen-enriched and nutrient-rich blood then returns to the fetus through one...
Patch Clamp01:18

Patch Clamp

Many fundamental cell functions such as muscle contraction and nerve transmission rely on the electrical signals produced by the movement of positively and negatively charged ions across the cell membrane. One competent method to record current flowing across the whole cell or single ion channel is the patch-clamp technique.
In this method, a glass micropipette containing electrolyte solution is tightly sealed against a small portion of the cell membrane. As a result, a patch of the cell...

Summary

Physiological cord clamping allows babies to receive their full placental blood volume, offering significant health benefits. This article encourages midwives to update clinical guidelines to include this practice.

Area of Science:

  • Neonatal care
  • Maternal-fetal medicine
  • Evidence-based practice in midwifery

Background:

  • Delayed cord clamping, also known as physiological cord clamping, allows for the transfer of placental blood to the neonate.
  • This transfusion has documented short- and long-term health benefits for newborns.
  • Integrating new evidence into clinical practice is essential for improving neonatal outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a student midwife's experience in updating third stage (placental delivery) guidelines.
  • To incorporate the evidence supporting physiological cord clamping into clinical practice.
  • To inspire other midwives and student midwives to engage in guideline review.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on the benefits of physiological cord clamping.

  • Participation in a guideline development group within a large NHS Trust.
  • Development of a new local guideline recommending physiological cord clamping.

    • Main Results:

    • A new unpublished local guideline was developed.
    • The guideline recommends offering physiological cord clamping to all babies where clinically appropriate.
    • The process highlighted the importance of student involvement in evidence-based practice changes.

    Conclusions:

    • Physiological cord clamping offers significant benefits to newborns and should be implemented where clinically possible.
    • Midwives and student midwives can play a crucial role in updating clinical guidelines.
    • Encouraging participation in guideline review promotes the adoption of evidence-based practices in maternity care.
