Why would you do that Lisa? if you give an oxytocic you get a surge of
blood through the cord. The uterus contracts within 3 mins Syntocinon 7/9
mins ergometrine. The Placenta should be sheared off the wall within
minutes. If you want the cord to stop pulsating in a well new born surely
the way to go is a physiological third stage. Half way house between both
is a recipe for disaster .
Physiological first and second stage = physiological third stage.
Managed first and second stage= active third stage.

Subject: [ozmidwifery] Delaying synto with active third stage
Hi Sue this is something I have always been interested in....the link is to
the FIGo/ICM Joint statement on active third stage and it states you can
leave the cord in a well newborn to stop pulsating...and then cut; this is
with giving the oxytocic at birth......
http://www.sogc.org/guidelines/public/136E-JPS-November2003.pdf
There was also a paper on delayed cord clamping and its benefits in the BMJ
a few weeks back.....it sites the above statement and promotes a delay in
cord clamping even in active third stage
Regards
Lisa
