Relationship Between Delayed Cord Clamping at Birth and Neonatal Bilirubin Levels in Parturients With a Prior Child Requiring Therapy for Neonatal Jaundice

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Hyperbilirubinemia, Neonatal, Jaundice, Neonatal

In brief

The purpose of the study is to determine if neonates (who already have an increased risk of hyperbilirubinemia due to mother's history of having previous neonate who received phototherapy for hyperbilirubinemia) have higher bilirubin levels 24 hours after birth with delayed cord clamping.

Who can join

Age: 18 and older, up to 40. Sex: female. Healthy volunteers: not accepted.

You may qualify if…

• mothers delivering at 35 weeks or greater
• mothers who have had at least 1 previous child that received phototherapy for hyperbilirubinemia
• multiple gestations can be included unless the neonate does not meet criteria for delayed cord clamping as described below or due to concerns about safety of delayed cord clamping for timing of delivery of the 2nd twin (ie: 2nd twin requires immediate delivery intervention)

You may not qualify if…

• Neonates who do not meet criteria for delayed cord clamping (any infant that any provider in the room felt needed evaluation by the neonatal transport team immediately so that the infant would be handed off for resuscitation. If the patient required delivery by cesarean section the delayed cord clamping protocol would be abandoned).
