Should very premature babies receive a placental transfusion at birth? A randomised controlled trial.

怀孕30周以下的早产儿死亡或存活的可能性是足月婴儿的100倍，通常是由于出生后血液流动不畅而导致的脑损伤。这项随机研究将发现，通过延迟夹住脐带，然后挤奶，在出生时给她们更多的胎盘血，是否可以减少贫血、输血、脑损伤、感染、死亡和残疾。这一结果可能会让全球数百万早产儿受益。

Premature babies under 30 weeks gestation are up to a hundred times more likely than full term babies to die or survive with major disability, often from brain damage due to poor blood flow after birth. This randomised study will find out if giving them more placental blood at birth, by means of a delay in clamping the umbilical cord, then milking it, reduces anemia, blood transfusions, brain damage, infection, death and disability. The results may benefit millions of premature babies worldwide.
