Abstract Objective: To assess the influence of umbilical cord milking (UCM) during cesarean section on premature and full term infants. Methods: 968 infants were selected and divided into observation group and control group from February 2017 to November 2017. The infants in the control group were cord clamped after born immediately, and the infants in the observation group were given UCM before cord clamped. The asphyxia rate, bilirubin level, and hemoglobin value of infants, and hemorrhage volume of women in both groups were recorded after cesarean section. Result: The asphyxia rate of infants in the observation group was significant lower than that of infants in the control group (P<0.05). In the premature infants, and the hemoglobin value of infants in the observation group were significant higher than those of infants in the control group (P<0.05). There were no significant difference in bilirubin level of infants and hemorrhage volume of women between the two groups (P>0.05). Conclusion: UCM can reduce the asphyxia rate of infants (especially for premature infants) after cesarean. And UCM can increase hemoglobin level of premature infants, but has less effect on the full term infants, which can’t increase the rate of hyperbilirubinemia of infants and hemorrhage volume of women.
