New treatment option for Congenital Heart Disease (CHD)
Official title Cord Clamping Among Neonates With Congenital Heart Disease
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06153459
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- The goal of this clinical trial is to compare 2 different timepoints for clamping the umbilical cord at birth for term-born infants with a prenatal diagnosis of congenital heart disease (CHD). The main questions it aims to answer are: Does Delayed Cord Clamping at 120 seconds (DCC-120) or Delayed Cord Clamping at 30 seconds (DCC-30) after birth lead to better health outcomes?
