Milking the umbilical cord before cord clamping
The procedure will involve positioning the neonate below the level of the placenta and milking approximately 20cm of umbilical cord three times over 10-20 seconds total from the placental end to the neonate. The cord will then be clamped and the neonate handed to the awaiting medical team for routine care of a premature infant.
