Re: Criminal Teaching on immediate cord clamping on an infant's pulsating lifeline, the umbilical cordFrom: Joanne Bulley (islesannie@yahoo.com)Fri Mar 30 14:08:57 2001
As I am sure the rest have figured - this does not appear to be a health professional. I am aswering - sort of - so if she reads it she **may** learn something... The volume of the blood in the baby-placental unit is enough to fill the blood vessels in both. If the baby gets all the blood filling the placenta, then the baby has too much blood (too many red blood cells) and can have significant problems from that. At birth, the baby needs only its portion of the blood - not the blood filling the placenta vessels. As indicated by Dr. Cristalli, in addition to having too much blood (as in the info above), the baby can effectively hemmorrhage into the placenta and die or have complications from too little blood. There is plenty of placental blood (identical to the baby's) so if the parents decided they must save some blood in one of these banks - then there is indeed plenty to do it safely. No reason to have any legislation saying it can't be done... Dr. Joanne Bulley

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
