Why not do the same for this? When I was in medical school, the was a study going on at Boston City Hospital, in measuring the amount of blood transfused into the infant by clamping after pulsations were stopped. and the conclusion was that the hct rose around 2% if you did not clamp the cord right away. I do not knowe if this was published. Myer

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.
