Abstract
Background: Placental transfusion
improves neonatal blood volume and iron stores. Delayed cord clamping (DCC) and
umbilical cord milking (UCM) are commonly used techniques.
Objectives: To compare the effects
of DCC and UCM on selected clinical and hematological parameters in term
neonates.
Methods: Prospective randomized comparative study at KVG Medical College,
Sullia, Karnataka (Sept–Oct 2025), including 50 term neonates.
Results: Hemoglobin and ferritin were comparable. Bilirubin was higher in DCC.
NICU admission slightly higher in UCM. No mortality.
