Abstract
The aim of this abstract is to compare the advantages and disadvantages of delayed clamping of the umbilical cord compared with the early one.Analyzing the results obtained, it can be concluded that the delayed clamping of the cord has more advantages for newborns than the early clamping of the umbilical cord. The increase in the level of hemoglobin and iron in the blood of the newborn helps in the prevention of hypoxic complications and contributes to the further favorable development of the newborn.
