Effect of later cord clamping on umbilical cord blood gas in term neonates of diabetic mothers: a randomized clinical trial.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To evaluate the effect of later cord clamping (LCC) on umbilical arterial blood gas in neonates of diabetic mothers.

Methods

This prospective study included a group of 160 diabetic mothers (DM) whose neonates were randomized to immediate cord clamping (ICC) (≤ 15 s after birth) or LCC (≥ 30 s after birth), and a group of 208 non-diabetic mothers (NDM) whose neonates were randomized to ICC or LCC as a reference. Cord arterial pH, base excess (BE), bicarbonate (HCO₃^-), partial pressure of carbon dioxide (pCO₂), partial pressure of oxygen (pO₂), lactate, hemoglobin, hematocrit and glucose were compared among groups.

Results

In neonates of DM, there was no significant difference in cord arterial pH between the ICC and
