Delayed cord clamping does not affect umbilical cord blood gas analysis

ConclusionsIn this study, infants selected for the DCC procedure were found to be overall lower risk than those delivered as per the standard ECC procedure. No clinically significant difference in any blood gas parameter was observed, and therefore, no adjustment to clinical reference intervals is needed for DCC blood gas samples taken after a 1-min delay period.
