Umbilical cord milking

EXPERIMENTAL

Once the preterm is born keep the baby from the mother's thighs. The obstetrician cord milking three times (2seconds/milking) taking the cord from the base 20cm respect towards the baby. Then clamp de cord.

Procedure: Umbilical cord milking

Delayed cord clamping

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Once the preterm is born the neonatologist keep the baby beside the mother at level of the operating table during 30 seconds without cord clamping. The baby is covered with a polythene bag and put a cap on his head. Then the obstetritian clamp the cord.

Procedure: Delayed cord clamping
