There is Facebook page to promote delayed cord clamping, https://www.facebook.com/pages/Delayed-Cord-Clamping-uk/414578291919270 you might find some useful information there. -- Tomasina Stacey 70 St Michael's Road Headingley Leeds LS6 3BG Ph +44 7580345393 On 21 Sep 2013, at 02:10, Claire MacDonald <[log in to unmask]> wrote: We are currently developing a guideline at a large New Zealand tertiary hospital to recommend deferred cord clamping (DCC) for most term babies born spontaneously, by instrumental birth and by caesarean section. Our aim is to develop this guideline and implement it in practice before moving on to develop a guideline for DCC at preterm births. I am aware of the recent systematic reviews on this issue. I have come across some literature linking immediate cord clamping at caesarean section with respiratory distress syndrome for term babies but not enough yet to include this as part of the evidence for DCC at CS. Does anyone know whether this link has been proven? I am interested in any references for DCC at caesarean section for term babies. Kind regards, Claire MacDonald Midwife Christchurch, New Zealand
