Re: cord clampingFrom: Braun, R. Daniel (rbraun@iupui.edu)Sat Mar 31 18:38:30 2001
Actually placing the infant on the abdomen with an unclamped cord, allows blood to flow back into the placental circulation. Holding the infant below the level of the placenta increases the volume in the baby. There are many studies done on this(Most 15-20 years ago if I remember correctly.). The gist is that if the baby is premature, you might either make him anemic or put him in Pulmonary edema from overload. If the baby is full term, it is of no significance.
