Summary

To investigate the effect of delayed cord clamping (DCC) on hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPCs), hematological parameters including haemoglobin concentration and hematocrit value in premature infants (34 weeks gestational age or less) with placental insufficiency.We hypothesized that preterm infants with placental insufficiency underwent DDC could have better hematologic parameters and hematopoietic progenitor cells compared to immediate cord clamping.

Detailed description

• A prospective randomized controlled study will be performed on preterm infants 34 weeks gestational age or less with placental insufficiency, and those without placental insufficiency where DCC will be performed in both groups. A third group of preterm with placental insufficiency and immediate cord clamping will be performed as a control.

Conditions

• Preterm Infant
• Placental Insufficiency
• Placental Transfusion
