Randomized Controlled TrialUmbilical cord blood acid-base and gas analysis after early versus delayed cord clamping in neonates at term.
To compare umbilical cord acid-base status and blood gas analysis between umbilical cords clamped within 10 s and at 2 min of delivery. ⋯ A delay of 2 min before umbilical cord clamping does not significantly change acid-base and gas analysis results, with the exception of a higher mean umbilical artery pO(2) value in the delayed clamping group.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative StudyRectal versus oral misoprostol for active management of third stage of labor: a randomized controlled trial.
To test that rectal misoprostol is effective for active management of third stage of labor, and probably with less side effects than oral misoprostol. ⋯ Rectal misoprostol is effective in the management of third stage of labor, and with a significant decrease in side effects. Lesser dose and other routes could be explored in the future.
