Abstract
Some years ago, delayed umbilical cord clamping was investigated and compared with immediate cord clamping. Numerous studies demonstrated the advantages to the neonate, and subsequently to young children, of allowing placental transfusion to take place – so much so, that the World Health Organization (WHO) recommendations advocate waiting 1–3 minutes before clamping the cord in term deliveries and at least 1 minute in preterm situations. Two other sets of circumstances have recently been addressed.
