A Randomized Controlled Trial of Immediate versus Delayed Umbilical Cord Clamping in Multiple-Birth Infants Born Preterm.

CONCLUSION: DCC for 30-60 s did not improve placental transfusion or increase systemic blood flow in multiple-birth infants born preterm, mostly by CS, when compared with ICC. The finding of a higher PPH rate in the DCC group raises concerns about the maternal safety of this procedure in this patient population. PMID: 30481760 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
