Can Fetal Umbilical Venous Blood Be a Reliable Source for Admission Complete Blood Count and Culture in NICU Patients?

abstract：BACKGROUND:Delayed cord clamping (DCC) improves placental transfusion and increases blood volume in preterm infants when compared with immediate cord clamping (ICC). However, evidence to support DCC in multiple-birth preterm infants is still lacking. OBJECTIVE:To compare the outcomes of ICC versus DCC in preterm infan...
