Study Summary
Premature birth is a major risk factor for perinatal brain damage and cerebral palsy (CP) with 47% of all CP cases occurring in infants with birth weight less than 2500 g. CP has life-long neurological consequences that affect quality of life for the patient. In the last 2 decades, improvements in neonatal intensive care have improved survival of VLBW infants significantly. This increased survival of VLBW infants poses new challenges towards developing novel treatments and interventions to decrease neurodevelopmental impairment and CP. While it is common for extremely preterm infant to survive at 23 weeks of gestation, the neurologic consequences range from learning difficulties and cognitive defects to severe disability and cerebral palsy. Currently prenatal neuroprotective agents such as corticosteroids are utilized whenever a preterm birth is anticipated. However, there are no proven postnatal interventions to prevent brain damage and cerebral palsy in VLBW infants. Many recent studies show that delaying umbilical cord clamping (DCC) may improve hemodynamic stability and decrease intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) in preterm infants. A decrease in incidence of IVH has a conceivable prospective benefit of decreasing brain injury and improving long-term outcomes. Based on these findings, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologist and American Academy of Pediatrics endorse that DCC may benefit the preterm infants. However, these recommendations have not been adopted by most obstetricians in USA. The main concern regarding the practice of DCC is the care delay in initiating resuscitation and providing the needed care to this vulnerable population. Therefore, as an alternative to DCC, method of cord milking (CM) has been developed to provide cord blood transfusion to premature infants. CM offers a more practical alternative to delayed cord clamping that may provide the same benefits without the need to delay resuscitation. However, there are very few stud
