ABSTRACT

The new strategy for attention of the birth, suggest that the clamping of umbilical cordon must be made after three minutes of a born or when the vessel has collapsed. Now we know, that to clamp the cordon before three minutes can result in damage to the newborn, especially premature babies, those with asphyxia or those with acute fetal distress, all of them need that the placenta must continue to provide oxygenated blood and cell volume. We conducted a shadow’s study to evaluate the time of cord umbilical clamping. A database was constructed including the following data: delivery mode, time of clamping, height baby when clamping and cutting the cord umbilical. Our results showed that 115 infants were included, 92 obtained by vaginal delivery and 23 by cesarean. A large variation in time of clamping the umbilical cord was identified. Clamping time ranged from five to 35 seconds. It was determined that the time of cord clamping and height baby when clamping and cutting is not monitored by staff attending childbirth; and does not have a procedure to standardize these procedures. It is recommended to improve the care of newborn updating and standardizing obstetric newborn cardiopulmonary resuscitation maneuvers.
