Article Synopsis
- Delaying umbilical cord clamping (DCC) can improve postnatal stability in preterm neonates under 35 weeks gestation, with evidence suggesting it reduces hemodynamic instability.
- In a study involving 124 preterm neonates, those in the DCC group experienced significantly lower rates of hemodynamic instability (29%) compared to the non-DCC group (46.7%), leading to a reduced need for medication.
- DCC was also associated with better blood pressure readings and less severe respiratory distress in the first 24 hours, indicating potential benefits for preterm newborns without increasing risks of other complications.
