title: [Focus on placental transfusion for preterm neonates: Delayed cord clamping and/or milking?]
abstract: Anemia of prematurity remains a common complication despite recent advances in perinatal and neonatal medicine. The delayed cord clamping (at least 30seconds as recommended) has several benefits: increased hemoglobin and hematocrit levels at birth, improved initial hemodynamic, decreased incidence of transfusions and intraventricular hemorrhages. When the birth transition is difficult, wait 30seconds before clamping can be impossible. So as not to interfere with the neonatal resuscitation, the "milking" has been proposed as an alternative method to the delayed cord clamping. This is a safe and easy method, which can be done either by an obstetrician or pediatrician with comparable results for the child on his hemodynamic, hematological and neurological status. It still lacks technical information on this method and neurodevelopmental outcomes of these preterm infants.
