Placental Transfusion in Preterm Infants Born at Less Than 34 Weeks of Gestation … Role of "Delayed" Cord Clamping and Umbilical Cord Milking
The American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology, American Academy of Pediatrics and the
World Health Organization have recently published recommendations related to placental
transfusions in preterm infants. This project will review outcomes of preterm infants
following a quality improvement implementation process in several delivery centers in
Indiana. Centers involved in this project are also part of the Indiana Vermont Oxford
Network (IRB#1003-84). Data is recorded for that network and the investigators site will be
reviewing that data every 3 months from infants who have completed the Vermont Oxford
Network collection. This project will specifically look at the incidence of intraventricular
hemorrhage, necrotizing entercolitis, periventricular leukomalacia, sepsis and death
following the implementation of the ACOG recommendations.
