About this study

This was a double-blind randomized controlled trial that performed between May 2021 to March 2022 at the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department of Queen Savang Vadhana Memorial Hospital. Late preterm pregnant women (34-36+6 week's gestation) that exclude placenta accrete/percreta, placenta previa, placental abruption, congenital anomaly and hydrops fetalis, were randomized in a 1:1 ratio to either one-time or three-times UCM. The primary outcome was neonatal Hb level at 48-72 hour after birth.

  • placenta accrete
  • placenta percreta

Treatment and study plan

one-time umbilical cord milking

Other

Before UCM procedures, in the case of vaginal delivery, the maternity doctor or nurse held the newborn below the level of the introitus. In the case of a cesarean section, the surgeon carries the newborn below the level of the incision.

Then maternity nurse or doctor swiped blood in length 20 centimeters of umbilical cord into the newborn, according to the number of swipes that assigned, then cutting the umbilical cord by the international standard methods. Newborns after birth were cared for and assessed according to the newborn nursing standards of QSMH in the department of pediatrics.
