Comparative Outcomes Related to Delivery-room Cord Milking In Low-resourced Kountries- PreTerm

Condition(s) studied

Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

Umbilical cord milking: At delivery, the umbilical cord is grasped, and blood is pushed toward the infant 4 times before the cord is clamped. This procedure infuses a placental transfusion of blood into the infant and can be done in 1--15 seconds.

Study summary

The goal of this multicenter, cluster-randomized, crossover trial is to determine if umbilical cord milking compared to early cord clamping will reduce in-hospital mortality in non-vigorous preterm infants born between 30 weeks and 34 weeks of gestation.

Eligibility

Primary outcome measure(s)

• In-hospital mortality — From date of birth until the date of discharge from the hospital or date of death from any cause, whichever come first, assessed up to 12 weeks
