The most common methods for providing additional placental blood to a newborn are
delayed cord clamping (DCC) and umbilical cord milking (UCM). However, DCC carries the …

Conclusions Currently, no consensus statements exist on the optimal cord management
strategy in non-vigorous neonates. DCC offers great benefits but may delay resuscitation …

hemorrhage (IVH) or death among preterm infants receiving placental transfusion with UCM …

Importance Compared with early cord clamping (ECC), umbilical cord milking (UCM)
reduces delivery room cardiorespiratory support, hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, and …

Importance Among preterm newborns undergoing resuscitation, delayed cord clamping for

Objective A large, randomized cluster cross-over trial (N= 1730) comparing intact umbilical
cord milking (UCM) to early cord clamping (ECC) in non-vigorous near-term/term newborns …

Thanks to Pediatric Research for highlighting our work again. We have come a long way
from the last highlight, both personally and professionally. We did go from “A family of NICU …

Background Umbilical cord milking (UCM) at birth causes surges in arterial blood pressure
and blood flow to the brain, which may explain the high risk of intraventricular haemorrhage …
