Protocol summary

Study aim
Determination and comparison of neonatal complications of two methods of umbilical cord milking and early cord clamping in preterm infants from 28 to 34 weeks.
Design
Clinical trial includes control group, with parallel groups, without blinding and randomization, performed on 160 preterm infants
Settings and conduct
In developing countries, due to low available blood resources and the possibility of transmission of blood-borne infections, decrease in the need for transfusion is a valuable achievement. This is a randomized clinical trial study which will be applied to preterm infants born in Imam Reza and Ghaem Hospitals. Naturally delivered preterm infants or those born with cesarean section who qualify based on inclusion criteria of study are randomly assigned to two groups of intervention and control.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion Criteria: All infants who are not suspected of placental abruption and in sonography, for a gestational age of 28 to 34 weeks, there should be no sign of placenta previa, anemia, hydrops and embryonic major abnormalities. Exclusion criteria: In a case that the infant is not hospitalized in NICU or during the study, parents do not agree with the presence of their infant in the study, less than 25 cm length of umbilical cord, thick meconium, the true knot of the umbilical cord, major anomalies of umbilical cord
Intervention groups
In control group, early cord clamping method and in the intervention group, the umbilical cord milking method are applied to preterm infants of 28 to 34 weeks.
Main outcome variables
The amount of transfused blood, the amount of bilirubin

Description
Intervention group: After the birth, the umbilical cord milking method is applied. The milking method is that after the birth, the infant while being at or slightly below the mother's body level, a piece of 25 cm of the cord remains tangential to the body of the fetus. Then, this piece is milked by the midwife who places the infant under the warmer, 3 times, each of which takes 2 to 3 seconds. The milking is performed from the placenta of the umbilical cord to the embryo (total of 10 seconds). In this situation, about 20 cc of blood is injected into the infats's body.
