Keeping cord attached longer at emergency cesarean
Part of Genetic & congenital, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests keeping the umbilical cord attached longer during an emergency cesarean to see if it helps the baby. If you are having a full-term emergency cesarean with spinal or epidural anesthesia, your baby may be able to benefit from this practice.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are pregnant with one baby (not twins or more).
- Your baby is born alive.
- You are at least 37 weeks pregnant when the baby is born.
- The baby is delivered by an emergency cesarean section, and you have epidural or spinal anesthesia.

This trial studies whether waiting longer before clamping the umbilical cord and starting early skin-to-skin contact can be done safely for babies born between 30 and 35 weeks by vaginal birth. It may help support breathing, circulation, and overall early newborn care.
This study compares waiting a bit before clamping the umbilical cord versus clamping it right away for babies born between 32 and 37 weeks of pregnancy. It helps determine which approach may be better for preterm infants.
This trial studies a different way of clamping the umbilical cord after birth to see if it helps moderately preterm babies (born between 32 and 37 weeks). It may improve their health right after delivery.
This study looks at how long to wait before clamping the umbilical cord in babies born with a heart condition. It helps doctors understand the best timing for these newborns.
This trial looks at whether different positions for the baby while waiting to clamp the umbilical cord can improve the baby's comfort and health measures. It is for full-term, healthy babies born vaginally.
This study compares a gentle way of clamping the umbilical cord after birth in babies with a diaphragmatic hernia. The goal is to see if this approach improves the baby's oxygen levels and reduces the need for breathing support.
