Abstract

Our study aims to make a comparison between the effects of milking of umbilical cord versus delayed cord clamping on Hemoglobin level at 6 weeks from delivery among term neonates and which method is more beneficial for them. It was a randomised control study. Participants were randomised into 2 groups; Group 1: 125 women were assigned to delay cord clamping; Group 2: 125 women were assigned to milking of the umbilical cord 5 times before cutting. Student t-test was used to compare between the two groups for quantitative data, for qualitative data chi-square test and the Correlation coefficient was done to test the association between variables. This study was at El-Galaa Teaching Hospital, labour suite. Cairo, Egypt. A group of 250 pregnant women starting from ≥ 37 weeks' gestational age. In this study, we searched if the mechanism of milking or delayed cord clamping could give some of the positive benefits for neonates or not. In this study, we found that milking of the umbilical cord five times as in group 1 was associated with higher hemoglobin levels at 6 weeks after birth, at physiological anemia of the fetus and significant but clinically there was no difference between the two groups (10.4 ± 0.5 and 10.6 ± 0.5 respective...Continue Reading

Anemia

Anemia develops when your blood lacks enough healthy red blood cells. Anemia of inflammation (AI, also called anemia of chronic disease) is a common, typically normocytic, normochromic anemia that is caused by an underlying inflammatory disease. Here is the latest research on anemia.
