Physiologic Cord Clamping
Why? When? Where? How?
What’s the big deal?
▪ Immature cells capable of differentiating into many cell types
▪ Essential role in development and maturity of nervous, respiratory, cardiovascular, hematologic, immunologic, and endocrine systems long before birth
▪ May impart long-term benefits against age-related diseases
▪ Impact on brain injury?
5/2/2017 LEGACY HEALTH 5https://usercontent2.hubstatic.com/3711983_f260.jpg
We’re
special!
What is it?
▪ Immediate = w/in 1 minute (usually 15-30 seconds)
▪ Delayed/timed/physiologic/optimum = 30-60 seconds
5/2/2017 LEGACY HEALTH 6
Why delayed/timed/physiologic/optimum
cord clamping?
▪ Neonatal total blood volume 85 mL/kg
▪ Doesn’t take much volume loss to get into trouble
> Immediate cord clamping: 30-50% of blood left in placenta
▪ proportional to gestational age
▪ 80-100 mL transferred w/in 3 minutes
▪ 90 % within first few breaths
▪ Stem cell-rich blood
5/2/2017 RANDALL CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL 7
What are the benefits?
▪ Increased iron stores -> decreased iron deficiency anemia -> improved developmental outcomes
> Especially important in low resource countries
> Fine-motor/social domains @ 4 years -- especially in boys▪ Low risk/high income country- Sweden [Andersson, 2015]
▪ Reduced incidence & severity of intracranial hemorrhage (IVH) (39-74%)
▪ Increased blood volume -> reduced need for blood transfusion (2-3 x less)
▪ Decreased rates of sepsis & necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC)
5/2/2017 LEGACY HEALTH 8
Hemodynamic stability
5/2/2017 LEGACY HEALTH 9
▪ Fetal shunts-> cardiac output drop with immediate
clamping due to decreased pre-load
▪ Decreased cardiac workload -> increase in superior vena
cava flow esp. if ventilation established (13% to 43%)
▪ Increased blood volume and blood flow -> improved tissue perfusion
“Apparently healthy spontaneously breathing neonates are
more likely to die or be admitted if CC is performed before or
immediately after onset of SR.”
> Increased risk not related to duration of time between CC and SR but
rather to the intervention CC that preceded SR
> Risk decreased by 20% for every 10 seconds up to 2-minute delay in
CC after onset of SR
[Ersdal et al, 2014]
5/2/2017 LEGACY HEALTH 10http://evolutionaryparenting.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/CORD-CLAMPING.jpg
Supporting normal physiology
▪ Fetal cardiac output = 10% to lungs
▪ Foramen ovale shunts blood to left atrium -> ascending
aorta -> heart & brain
▪ Immediate clamping -> high pulmonary vascular
resistance + decreased preload -> drop in cardiac
output
▪ Clamping while breathing -> dilatation of pulmonary
vascular bed -> venous return from lungs to left atrium
& maintains left ventricular pressure -> cardiac output
-> systemic blood pressure
5/2/2017 RANDALL CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL 11
When to immediately clamp?
▪ Placenta or umbilical cord not intact
> Abruption
> Cord avulsion
▪ Resuscitation needed +/-
> Being studied
> Cord intact during NRP makes perfect physiologic sense

Listen for heart rate and air entry -> communicate w/in 15
seconds:
• Chest may be moving but heart rate not improving
• Heart rate may be improving but chest is not moving
Give 30 seconds of EFFECTIVE VENTILATION

Or
LMA
Emphasis on two thumb method
▪ Better cardiac output
▪ Move to head of bed for cord access
5/2/2017 RANDALL CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL 25
▪ Most effective compression:ventilation ratio is still 3:1
“1 and 2 and 3 and breathe”
Heart rate monitoring
▪ Use of 3-lead monitor with
compressions
▪ Auscultation over feeling
cord

Emergency low UV line- clean technique• Cheater dose -> 0.5 mL average-sized baby (0.1 if < 1kg)
Endotracheal dosing ineffective• 0.5-1 mL/kg only while obtaining IV access
• Give IV dose immediately upon IV access
5/2/2017 RANDALL CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL 28
10 mL/kg over 5-10 minutes
Always consider oxygen carrying capacity
5/2/2017 RANDALL CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL 29
Consider neuroprotective cooling
▪ Prevent hyperthermia
▪ Passive cooling after consulting NICU
> Improves HIE outcomes
> Turn down warmer and follow temperature closely
> Entrance criteria (RCH NICU)
▪ 35+ weeks plus one of the following:
▪ Umbilical or baby by one hour of age
▪ pH < 7 or base deficit > 16 (within 1 hour of birth) or
▪ pH 7.01-7.15 and base deficit 10-15.9, plus one of the following:
– Apgar < 5 at 10 minutes or
– Assisted ventilation (not CPAP) x 10 minutes post delivery

NO changes foreseen- the evidence is in…
▪ Later? Nope >> Initiate by 6 hours of age
▪ Longer? Nope >> 72 hours
▪ Colder? Nope >> 33.5° C
▪ Preemies? Nope >> 35 weeks and up
▪ Reduction in mortality & major disability at 6-7 years of age

40% Glucose Gel for Hypoglycemia
Why? When? How?
Remember this…?
5/2/2017 LEGACY HEALTH 35
Why? New evidence to consider…
▪ Asymptomatic hypoglycemia retrospective outcome study
(Kaiser, 2015)
▪ Sugar Babies Trial outcomes (Harris et al, 2013, 2016)
▪ Higher blood sugar levels endorsed by Pediatric
Endocrine Society based on physiology (Stanley, 2015)> Plasma glucose levels are lowest early on the first day of life ~ 55-65 mg/dL
> Increase over next 2-3 days to reach range of normal for older infants and
children
5/2/2017 LEGACY HEALTH 36
Kaiser et al., 2015
▪ Paired 1395 babies born in 1998 with their 2008 achievement test
scores (at 10 years old)
▪ 6-19 % had transient hypoglycemia (<35, <40, <45 mg/dL)
▪ Early transient newborn hypoglycemia was associated with lower achievement test scores at age 10 years
▪ 50% as likely to perform at grade level on tests of math and literacy
▪ Normal glucose levels were about 20 percent more proficient than
those with transiently low glucose levels
5/2/2017 LEGACY HEALTH 37
“Sugar Babies” trial (Harris, 2013)
▪ Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial at a
tertiary center between Dec 1, 2008 - Nov 31, 2010
• 514 enrolled babies
• 242 (47%) became hypoglycemic
• 35- 42 weeks gestation
• < 48 hours old
• At risk of hypoglycemia
▪ Aim: assess whether treatment with 40% dextrose gel
was more effective than feeding alone for reversal of
neonatal hypoglycemia in at-risk babies
May 2, 2017 LEGACY HEALTH 38
How?
1) Dried baby’s mouth with gauze
2) Massaged 200 mg/kg (0.5 mL/kg) gel into buccal mucosa
> Equal to 2mL/kg mini bolus of D10W
3) Baby was encouraged to feed
4) Blood glucose measured 30 min after gel administration
> If feeding was poor, given expressed breastmilk or formula by
syringe, according to maternal wishes
▪ If remained hypoglycemic or hypoglycemia recurred
later, treatment was repeated
▪ Up to six doses of gel could be given over 48 hours
5/2/2017 LEGACY HEALTH 39
So?
▪ Treatment with dextrose gel is inexpensive and simple
to administer
▪ Dextrose gel should be considered for first-line
treatment to manage hypoglycemia in late preterm and
term babies in the first 48 hours after birth
5/2/2017 LEGACY HEALTH 40
But is it Baby Friendly? You decide…
▪ Spent less time separated from their parents
▪ At 2 weeks of age, formula feeding was less common in
babies receiving dextrose gel than in those receiving
placebo
5/2/2017 LEGACY HEALTH 41
▪ Advocate Lutheran General Hospital, Park Ridge IL
▪ Adopted the practice in 2014
▪ 0.2 grams/kg of 40% glucose gel up to three times
▪ Decreased admissions to NICU for hypoglycemia from 11%
to 3%
[Bennett, 2016]
5/2/2017 LEGACY HEALTH 42
▪ Dr. Kaiser is now at Baylor starting a clinical trial of 40%
glucose gel

▪ Why don’t we just use 24% sucrose?
> Sucrose is a disaccharide and takes longer to metabolize than
dextrose
> Large volume would be needed
▪ What’s the difference between glucose and dextrose?
> Glucose is the same chemical as dextrose
> Monosaccharide breaks down more easily (faster)

Sugar Babies follow-up study: Outcome at 2 Years after Dextrose
Gel Treatment for Neonatal Hypoglycemia: Follow-Up of a Randomized Trial
184 babies: randomized to dextrose (90) or placebo gel (94)
“Our primary aim was to determine whether treatment of
infants with hypoglycemia with dextrose compared with
placebo gel altered the rate of neurosensory impairment or
processing difficulties at 2 years’ corrected age.”
5/2/2017 LEGACY HEALTH 49
[Harris, D. et al., 2016]
Conclusion
“This study shows that treatment with
dextrose gel is not associated with
additional risks or benefits at 2 years of
age. Clinicians and families can be
reassured that the advantages of treatment
with dextrose gel soon after birth are not
counterbalanced by increased risk of poor
neurodevelopmental outcome at 2 years’
corrected age.”

▪ How many of you have treated a
newborn with antibiotics?
▪ How many of you have cared for a
newborn with a true positive blood

LEGACY HEALTH
Show of hands…
Why?
Newborn Early-Onset Sepsis is…
▪ Very infrequent in term infants since GBS screening and
prophylaxis began
> GBS sepsis rate dropped from 1.8 to 0.25 cases per 1,000 births1, 2
> Overall incidence of early-onset sepsis: 0.5-1.2 cases per 1,000 births3
Yet…
▪ Empiric antibiotic treatment remains VERY frequent
> 6-10% of ALL infants > 34 weeks receive antibiotics in first few days of
life4
