dc.description.abstractDelayed cord clamping (DCC) has emerged as an important practice in modern obstetrics aimed at improving neonatal and maternal health outcomes. Unlike immediate cord clamping (ICC), DCC allows a physiological placental transfusion to the neonate which boosts its blood volume, hemoglobin levels, and iron stores, therefore reducing the risk of anemia in infancy. Also, in preterm neonates, DCC decreases the incidence of intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) and late-onset sepsis. The practice of delayed cord clamping has, however, not been universally adopted due to concerns about neonatal jaundice, maternal complications, and the logistical challenges that arise during cesarean sections. Therefore, the aim of this thesis is to explore the evolution, scientific basis, and clinical benefits and risks of DCC. This is done through a comprehensive review of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and the current guidelines by organizations such as the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) and the World Health Organization (WHO). This review emphasizes the benefits of DCC while addressing gaps in implementation, particularly in high-risk deliveries. By doing this, this thesis hopes to advocate for standardized DCC protocols worldwide to enhance maternal and neonatal health.
