Resumen
ARANGO GOMEZ, Fernando y MEJIA LONDONO, Juan Carlos. When to clamp the umbilical cord?. Rev Colomb Obstet Ginecol [online]. 2004, vol.55, n.2, pp.136-145. ISSN 0034-7434.
The umbilical cord is usually clamped mechanically and immediately after birth, without thinking about the implications in the newborn or the mother. In this review we present the available evidence with regard to the physiologic concepts about cord clamping, why is immediately clamping a common practice, the potential adverse effects of early clamping, the potential beneficial effects of delayed clamping, and the Ministerio de la Protección Social (Ministry for Social Protection) recommendations.
