- Abstract
Background: Delayed clamping of the umbilical cord is known to increase iron level in newborns. Optimal time for delayed clamping of umbilical cord is not known clearly. Objectives: To know the optimal time for delayed clamping of umbilical cord to improve hemoglobin level after birth. Methods: This study used experimental design which divided in three groups with different treatment; delayed umbilical cord clamping within during two minutes after birth; delayed umbilical cord clamping within three – seven minutes or / until its stop pulsed; and delayed umbilical cord clamping within till two hours. Results: the optimal time to improve hemoglobin level in after birth was delayed umbilical cord clamping within two hours, the average of the highest hemoglobin level after birth was 19.61gr%, while the mean of hemoglobin level of afterbirth in two minutes was lower, 2.65 g% and in three till seven minutes was lower mean, 3,16gr%. Conclusion: The optimal time to increase hemoglobin level in newborns is the delayed cord clamping for 2 hours treatment, with the average infant mortality rate of 19.61gr%.
