Cord clamping will be applied after 30 seconds post delivery.

Cord clamping will be applied after 3 minutes post delivery.

The baby will be placed below the level of the placenta, between the mother's thighs (during a vaginal delivery) or at the side of the mother swaddled in sterile towels (during a caesarian delivery).

Jaundice Neonatal

We have decided to delay cord clamping in the intervention group to 3 minutes and place the baby 10 cm above the placental, as it seems most efficient based on the available literature. At all births (spontaneous vaginal deliveries and caesarian sections) a member of the recruitment team will be present. He will inform the midwife or obstetrician about the allocated intervention and measure the time from the delivery of the shoulders to the cord clamping.

Delayed cord clamping

If cord milking will be the allocated intervention, the recruiter will supervise the midwife, or obstetrician preforming the procedure, and count out loud the number of times the cord has been milked. During vaginal deliveries midwifes will be asked to maintain the infant at least 10 cm above the uterus until the cord is clamped. In case of caesarian sections the baby will be placed on the mother's laps and swaddled in sterile towels to prevent heat loss.

We have decided to clamp the cord in the early intervention group at 30 seconds and place the baby 10 cm above the placental, as it seems most efficient based on the available literature. At all births (spontaneous vaginal deliveries and caesarian sections) a member of the recruitment team will be present. He will inform the midwife or obstetrician about the allocated intervention and measure the time from the delivery of the shoulders to the cord clamping.

The Risk of Hyperbilirubinemia in Term Newborns After Placental Transfusion

The Risk of Hyperbilirubinemia in Term Newborns After Placental Transfusion: A Randomized-blinded Controlled Trial

Infants requiring phototherapy or exchange transfusion will be evaluated according to the AAP guidelines. The above evidence based guidelines describe the management of neonatal hyperbilirubinaemia in newborns above 35 weeks of gestation. Serum bilirubin levels will be interpreted according to the baby's age in hours. Physicians assessing the infant and prescribing phototherapy will be blinded to treatment.

Hematocrit levels peak at about 2 hours of age, and gradually stabilize during the following 12-24 hours. To avoid bias and minimalize the amount of needle pricks we have chosen to combine serum bilirubin and hematological measurements to the minimal amount of samples .

Adverse Events assessed in accordance with CTCAE (NCI Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events) Version 3.0.

Number of Participants Experiencing Serious Adverse Events Including But Not Limited to Hospitalizations, Deaths Related to Treatment, or Other Incapacitating Conditions.

Response and progression will be evaluated in this study using measurements from the MRI/CT scans. Measurements will be made of the image slice with the largest cross sectional area. Two orthogonal measures will be made to determine maximal AP and lateral dimensions. Progression of disease will be defined as a greater than 25% increase of largest cross sectional area by two orthogonal measurements, taking as reference the smallest sum recorded since the treatment started or the appearance of one or more new lesions.

Hydroxyurea: Hydroxyurea inhibits DNA synthesis by inhibition of ribonucleotide diphosphate reductase and is a well-known drug used for the treatment of a number of tumor types including head and neck tumors and chronic myelogenous leukemia. It has also been used as an adjuvant for antiretroviral treatment for patients with HIV and as a treatment for polycythemia vera, essential thrombocythemia and sickle cell disease.
Verapamil: Verapamil is another commonly used medication. It is used for the treatment of angina, hypertension, supraventricular arrhythmias, and migraine prophylaxis. Dosing with standard verapamil is 80-120 mg pox three times a day but the sustained release form can be given 120-480mg once or twice each day.
