Medical Research Breakthroughs and Jaundice

Clamp the cord early: Researchers at Melbourne, Australia have found new evidence which says that delay in clamping the umbilical cord in babies have been associated with greater risk of developing jaundice. Clamping the cord within 30 to 60 seconds after birth is one of three steps in an "active management" approach to the third stage of labor, a time when a new mother is vulnerable to excessive blood loss. But the new study shows that the mother was not vulnerable to blood loss but the baby was more at risk for jaundice. The time difference between early and late cord clamping is just one or two minutes, but the delay allows for an additional infusion of blood from mother to child. This leads to an increase in the iron load in the blood. The amount of iron in the blood at birth can influence health, particularly an infant's risk for anaemia in the first months of life. Many babies get a mild form of jaundice at birth because the liver is immature and cannot process bilirubin, a yellow by product of the breakdown of old red blood cells. The study found that infants in the delayed-clamping group had a higher risk for jaundice that needed extra treatment with phototherapy
