DISCUSSION Delayed cord clamping is a safe and effective intervention in preterm neonatal births in the majority of situations. The World Health Organization and American Academy of Pediatrics currently recommends delayed cord clamping at 1 minute from breach of birth. Current practice, of immediate clamping, is not evidenced based. Delayed cord clamping could be implemented immediately but the lack of clinician education is the main barrier to implementation. Recommendations allow for clinicians to deviate from the protocol when the neonate needs resuscitation. Future research should include application of delayed cord clamping on very preterm infants and the benefits of delaying cord clamping during resuscitation efforts.standard procedure.
