Simple cord milking procedure could save preterm Infants' lives
NCT ID NCT06240715
First seen Jul 13, 2026 · Last updated Jul 14, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial compares two ways of managing the umbilical cord right after birth in preterm infants (30-34 weeks) who are not vigorous. One method, umbilical cord milking, involves pushing blood from the cord toward the baby before clamping. The other is early cord clamping. The study aims to see if milking reduces the chance of death while the baby is still in the hospital. About 800 infants will take part across multiple hospitals.
