Official Title: Impact of Early Versus Delayed Cord Clamping on Oxidative Stress in Neonates With Intrauterine Growth Restriction: A Prospective Comparative Study
Brief Summary:
This study investigated whether delaying the clamping of the umbilical cord after birth can reduce harmful oxidative stress in newborns, especially in those who did not grow well during pregnancy (intrauterine growth restriction - IUGR).By comparing early and delayed cord clamping in 90 newborns, researchers found that delayed clamping improved antioxidant protection and reduced signs of oxidative damage.These benefits were more significant in babies with IUGR.The results suggest that delaying cord clamping could…
