First seen Feb 18, 2026 · Last updated Apr 30, 2026 · Updated 9 times

Summary

This study looked at whether a specific method of delivering the placenta—called controlled cord traction—can lower the chance of severe bleeding after a vaginal birth. Over 4,300 women took part, and researchers compared this technique to waiting for the placenta to come out on its own. The goal was to see if the controlled pulling approach helps reduce blood loss and the need for extra treatments.
