Cord Clamping

Cord clamping refers to the timing of when the umbilical cord is clamped and cut after birth. This decision can influence the transfer of blood from the placenta to the newborn, impacting iron stores, oxygenation, and early circulatory adaptation. Research in this area compares immediate versus delayed cord clamping and explores how timing may affect neonatal outcomes in both term and preterm infants.
