Filter by:The aim of the study was to evaluate the effects of anesthetic techniques (general and spinal anesthesia) on umbilical cord neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) and mean platelet volume (MPV) in patients undergoing cesarean section.
The timing of umbilical cord clamping has been widely discussed in the scientific community. As part of the worldwide strategies to reduce childhood iron deficiency anemia, the incorporation of late clamping (at least one minute after delivery), has been adopted as an effective and low-cost measure for health services. The optimal timing for clamping, ( if until 3 minutes of delivery, or later, when the cord stops spontaneous pulse), still remains controversial. Also, doubts remain about the effect of late clamping of the umbilical cord on maternal outcomes. This study has the hypothesis that waiting for the cessation of the cord pulsation will not bring harm to the newborn or the mother.
This study evaluates the utility of placental/umbilical cord blood (PUCB) to perform the baseline workup testing for EONS in Very Low Birth Weight Infants: CBC (Complete Blood Count) with differential, Immature/Total ratio (I/T ratio), and blood culture along with CRP and IL-6 levels. A cohort (63 subjects) of preterm infants will be recruited. All the participants will be evaluated for sepsis using placental/umbilical cord blood (PUCB) and subject blood sample during the first 12 hours of life (after birth).
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the umbilical cord milking in preterm infants born by cesarian section less than 34 weeks is more effective than delayed cord clamping to obtain higher levels of hemoglobin.
The primary objective of this study is to determine the detection rate of two- or three-vessel umbilical cord at the time of nuchal translucency screening between 11 and 13 6/7 weeks gestation. Hypothesis: Detection rate of the number of vessels during first trimester will be as accurate as the detection of vessels during the second trimester.
The purpose of this study is to determine if an intensive handwashing intervention administered to primiparous women during their pregnancy can increase maternal handwashing with soap at critical times.
Umbilical cord often becomes encircled around portions of the fetus, usually the neck. The incidence ranges from 1 loop in 21% to 3 loops in 0.2%. In this study we wish to assessed the practice of severing the cord, which was encircled once around the neck of the fetus, after delivery of the anterior shoulder and prior to extraction of the body. The study and the control groups will include 30 women, each one. After diagnosis of cord around the neck during labor by ultrasound, the women will inter a randomization process. After delivery of the head, it will be cut intentionally in the study group and left intact in the control group. Neonatal outcome will be assessed.
In the United States (U.S.) there currently is no standard method of umbilical cord care, resulting in varying practices within and across institutions. These differences may result in an increase in morbidities for newborns such as the formation of umbilical granulomas and increases in acute care utilization. This study will determine which of two common methods of caring for newborn umbilical cords is superior - triple dye, followed by the application of rubbing alcohol, or triple dye alone.
