Effect of Delayed Clamping on Cord Blood Donation Dr M Guttridge NHS Cord Blood Bank
NHS Cord Blood Bank Operational since Feb 1996 First unit issued for transplant in February 1998 6 collection centres in London Fact-NetCord accredited in 2004 HTA licensed from 2006 Over 19,500 units banked 40% from BME communities Over 400 Cord Blood units issued
Delayed clamping associated with: • Lower levels of anaemia at day 2 (1.2% versus 6.3%), • higher ferritin and lower prevalence of iron deficiency at 4 months • Volume of blood remaining in cord/placenta was 37% lower in delayed clamping group • 25mL versus 39mL
Study Overview • All 6 collection centres participated in study • L&D introduced policy of delayed clamping • No intervention in birth process • Midwives recorded time to clamping • ‘Immediate’ = less than 10 seconds • Data where midwife wasn’t sure was excluded. • Only collections over 50mL were evaluated for TNC. • Effect on collection volume and TNC calculated.

Conclusions • Delayed clamping was rare during the study • 52.6% clamped immediately • 87.8% clamped within 30 seconds • 1.8% clamped after 180 seconds • Mean collection volume was 65.08mL • Mean nucleated cell (TNC) count was 121.37x10^7 • Delayed clamping did not significantly impact on collection volume or TNC
