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

少于30周妊娠期的早产婴儿死亡或患有严重残疾的可能性是足月婴儿的100倍，通常是由于出生后血流不畅造成的脑损伤。这项随机研究将发现，如果在婴儿出生时给他们更多的胎盘血，通过延迟脐带夹紧，然后挤奶，可以减少贫血，输血，脑损伤，感染，死亡和残疾。研究结果可能会使全世界数百万早产儿受益。

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.
