Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Delayed cord clamping at birth has shown to be very beneficial to all newborn babies. Daily practice of delayed cord clamping varies between hospital to hospital and provider to provider. There is no set guidelines or policy on when to clamp the umbilical cord. Providers are preforming an unnecessary intervention by cutting the umbilical cord right at birth. When you delay cord clamping at birth this allows the placenta to deliver extra blood supply to the newborn. This extra blood supply will help prevent anemia, it will lower the risk of neonatal blood transfusions and intraventricular hemorrhage. The need to implement and standardization a practice on when to cut and clamp the umbilical cord is needed in Obstetrics. Neonatologist have their own opinion on when to cut and clamp the umbilical cord on preterm deliveries. The placental transfusion benefits preterm babies greatly. The need to change the way practice is being performed at all deliveries is crucial in benefit all newborns from lifetime of complications. A simple solution is to perform delayed cord clamping at all births, this takes commitment from all that is involved in the birthing process. Education and commitment from the staff and providers needs to be implemented so this practice can be successful. Patients need to be informed of the benefits that delayed cord clamping can have on their newborn baby.

Download or read book Delayed Umbilical Cord Clamping written by and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 15 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this paper is to explore the state of the science related to delayed versus early umbilical cord clamping. This interprofessional change in practice and protocol needs to take place within obstetric practice, which can be made up of obstetricians, midwives, nurse practitioners, and nurses. Patients must be educated by their providers so that they can better understand the care being performed. A search of the literature published through PubMed was conducted using the key phrases delayed umbilical cord clamping (DUCC), benefits of delayed cord clamping, and umbilical cord protocols. The search yielded 133 titles, which was limited to peer-reviewed, full-text research articles between the years 2011 to January 2016. After reading through the articles, another 100 were excluded because they did not include extensive information regarding the benefits of DUCC and/or management strategies for future policy development with 33 remaining for inclusion in this review. In research, the benefits of DUCC are the results of the influx of stem cells and iron in addition to the supplemental blood provided to the newborn. The disadvantage is the increased risk for hyperbilirubinemia in newborns. It can be maintained that the benefits of DUCC outweigh the disadvantages for both mothers and newborns. It is necessary that the interprofessional team implements research found on delayed versus early cord clamping in the form of evidence-based practice to deliver more complete care to women and newborns.

Download or read book Delayed Cord Clamping and Its Relation to Infant Iron Deficiency Anemia written by Sarah Heuchan and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Approximately half of all children under the age of five suffer from iron deficiency anemia. This is a worldwide health issue that coincides with severe adverse effects on neural development and behavioral outcomes. Numerous international studies have proven that the timing of umbilical cord clamping at birth, may impact the occurrence of iron deficiency anemia in infants for up to six months of life (Gyorkos and others, 2012). Based on current evidence, it was decided that creating a hospital policy to encourage providers to delay umbilical cord clamping would be a great step towards preventing iron deficiency anemia in infants. Lewin's change theory was chosen guide the change from early umbilical cord clamping to delayed cord clamping. Healthcare providers and the community will be presented with the evidence and thoroughly educated on the benefits of delayed cord clamping. Team leaders will be chosen to monitor and evaluate the implementation process. Pamphlets containing information regarding the benefits of delayed cord clamping, as well as the process will be provided to all staff, and patients, in efforts to educate and create enthusiasm for the policy change. Obstetrical healthcare providers will be asked to fill out an electronic questionnaire to evaluate the process and increase policy compliance. A staff meeting will then be held and the staff will be asked to contribute ideas to facilitate the development of strategies to modify the process as needed. To aid in the evaluation process, a section will be added in delivery summery of the electronic health records that asks if cord clamping was delayed and if so for how many minutes. With maternal consent, pediatricians will test all infants for iron deficiency anemia at three and six months of age. The data will then be organized and separated into two groups. Group A will be infants that were subjected to delayed cord clamping and group B will be infants that were subjected to early cord clamping. The two groups will then be compared to determine the difference between them related to the occurrence of iron deficiency anemia at three and six months of age. Current international studies have proven that delaying umbilical cord clamping can significantly decrease the occurrence of iron deficiency anemia in infants for up to six months of age, while additionally providing multiple other health benefits with very low risks of adverse affects. Properly disseminating these research results will inspire others to also make the shift towards delayed cord clamping, which will eventually decrease the overall prevalence of infant iron deficiency anemia.
