The recently introduced iLTS-D ® combines the characteristics of laryngeal tube suction-D with the added possibility of secondary tracheal intubation. The manufacturer has provided a method to insert the novel device, iLTS-D. With 45-patients worth of experience, two manoeuvres, i.e. Mandheeral 1 and Mandheeral 2, are recommended for smooth insertion of the device, and ventilation through the device. These were head extension and 'up-to-one-inch-out manoeuvres'. These two manoeuvres were required in all patients.
Introduction: The umbilical cord of every newborn is clamped and cut at birth, yet the optimal timing for this intervention remains controversial. For at least over 200yrs, multiple controversies have arisen around the timing of umbilical cord clamping. Delayed cord clamping or placental transfusion could be a cost effective intervention to improve the iron status of infants by enhancing their red cell mass. Search in literature reveals that several controlled trials evaluating the short term and long term hematological outcomes of delayed cord clamping have been performed in the past but very few studies have investigated the risk of hyperbilirubinemia especially from this part of the world. Hence this crosssectional study was conceptualized. Material and Methods: It was a cross-sectional study conducted among 212 term infants born at Rohilkhand Medical College and Hospital, Bareilly, over a period of 1 year, who fulfilled the inclusion criteria were included in our study. Results: In the present study, hemoglobin, bilirubin, and hematocrit levels at birth and at 24 hours of birth in Immediate cord clamping and Delayed cord clamping was taken. Mean levels of hemoglobin, bilirubin and hematocrit was found higher in Delayed Cord Clamping group as compared to Immediate Cord Clamping group. Conclusion: The study was conclusive of the fact that in term infants delayed cord clamping increases hemoglobin, hematocrit and bilirubin levels at birth and at 24 hrs of birth as compared to immediate cord clamping. Moreover, there was no significant associated adverse effects.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
