It may well be, as I rarely cut the cord before the placenta has birthed during a physiological third stage (unless requested), even when the woman chooses not to have a lotus birth. Andres Bilcliff - Original Message - From: Susan Cudlipp I mean, does the fact

Hi, I'm interested if there is any research on delaying synto for say up to 5 minutes in 'active 3rd stage'. Have been doing actively managed third stage throughout my clinical placements as a student (nearly finished!!) with some practitioners cutting the cord immediately, and most at about

Hello Sue, The question of third stage management has a cultural aspect as well. In the US, as far as I know, the syntometrine is not given until after the placenta arrives. It is then given to prevent excessive bleeding. Interesting to speculate on how this major difference developed, and

Sue, You really need to decide whether your patient wishes for an active or a physiological third stage. It can be dangerous to try and do a half-half sort of third stage. If you plan a physiological third stage then you need to: 1. Dont clamp or cut the cord until it stops pulsating. 2. Put

I should add that a physiological third stage is the natural progression from a normal labour. However if the woman has had a labour influenced by IOL, augmentation and directed pushing in second stage then she is more at risk of a PPH because her uterus has been unnaturally pushed to labour

Competely agree Leanne...but am also of the belief that the issue of timing of the injection, and therefore timing of the clamping are things that have been thrust upon us. The research is variable in its support of when to give the oxytocic and how long we can leave the cord to pulsate after

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

Where I work when I am not being a MIPP we leave the cord until it has stopped pulsating, or the mother asks for it to be cut and then we give the synt after it has been clamped. Our PPH rate is not noticeably higher Put it this way we have the usual conservative GPs and they do not object

Well that's what we've always been led to believe, but it's not a one way system is it? So if you are using syntocinon (not syntometrine where the contraction is much stronger and more sustained) why won't the baby regulate it's own blood volume? I am speaking from hospital experience where

Hi Lisa, Delaying the Syntocinon until after the cord has stopped pulsing isn't a problem as up until you give the drug you are treating it as a physiological third stage. giving the drug then just waiting for the cord to stop could be a problem. When I have a few mins I'll check it out I'm
