About this study
The sequence of events at the time of delivery includes delivery of the infant, clamping of the umbilical cord, and lastly delivery of the placenta. There are some benefits for delayed cord clamping. This study aims to compare the effects of two different duration of delayed cord clamping.
Infants will be randomized into two groups based on the duration of delayed cord clamping: 30 seconds vs 120 seconds. Different hemodynamic effects will be measured in each group at different time intervals. The hypothesis of the study is that delayed cord clamping for 120 seconds is associated with better cardiac output and with other hemodynamic advantages.
Read the detailed description
The study will include full term infants delivered via cesarean section. Written informed consent for participation in the study will be obtained from parents prior to delivery. Newborns will be randomly assigned into two groups according to the duration of cord clamping: Group 1: the cord will be clamped at 30 seconds, and Group 2: the cord will be clamped at 120 seconds of life. Stopwatch will be started when infants buttocks (or head if breech) are delivered from the uterus. The time elapsed will be counted aloud by the investigator in 10-second intervals. During this time, the infant will be held in linen on the mothers legs. Care will be taken not to apply traction on the cord. Milking of the cord will not be allowed. Immediately after resuscitation, infants will be attached to the leads of the electrical cardiometry device. Device output will be imported at 5, 10, and 15 minutes after birth in both groups. A follow up measurement will be imported later at 24 hours of age. In addition, a peripheral blood sample will be obtained at 24 hours of age for assessment of hemoglobin, glucose and bilirubin concentrations. .
The calculated sample size is 31 newborns in each group. This number will be adequate to detect an effect size of 10% in the mean cardiac output between the two groups with 95% confidence and 80% power. The study plans to recruit 34 infants in each group (10% attrition rate).

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Delayed cord clamping in people with Cardiac Output, High and Cardiac Output, Low, run by Cairo University at 1 site in Egypt.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Apr 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Egypt. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Cardiac output (time frame: at 15 minutes). The study lists 6 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04358822, which also lists 5 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 24 Apr 2020.
