Guidelines on Deferred Cord Clamping and Cord Milking: A Systematic Review
Abstract
CONTEXT: Deferred cord clamping (DCC) saves lives. It reduces extremely preterm infants' mortality by 30%, yet a minority of eligible infants receive it. This may in part be due to lack of awareness or confidence in evidence, or conflicting or vague guidelines.
OBJECTIVE: To systematically review clinical practice guidelines and other statements on DCC and cord milking.
