Literature data concerning positive effects of umbilical cord milking are encouraging and suggest that umbilical cord milking may be a quick and effective method to provide placental transfusions to depressed infants. However, the lack of standardised procedures and the variation in evaluated outcomes as well as the limited number of patients enrolled in trials, along with the retrospective nature of some of them, prevent recommending umbilical cord milking as a routine procedure.
