Placental cord drainage
Placental cord drainage is the process of clamping and cutting the umbilical cord after the birth of the baby, then opening the clamp at the maternal end of the cord and allowing the blood in the placenta to flow outward (Soltani et al, 2011; Vasconcelos et al, 2018; Pandey et al, 2019; Upadya et al, 2019; Chaudhary et al, 2020; Kazı et al, 2020; Mittal et al, 2020; Nabıl and Marzouk, 2020; Mansour et al, 2021; El Sayed et al, 2021; Karimi et al, 2022; Wedn and Hassanin, 2022).
