Cover Story: Delayed cord clamping is beneficial for all newborns and may be lifesaving, especially for preterm infants. This review, intended for healthcare professionals in the field of perinatology, provides insights into the important physiological processes involved in the newborn’s transition to extrauterine life. Sustained cord circulation allows for dual respiration and redistribution of blood and its components, including stem cells. The increased blood volume obtained perfuses vital organs and generates mechanical forces within the microcirculation, which stimulates endothelial cells to release angiocrine growth factors that promote organ development, tissue proliferation, and repair. In combination, these processes prevent hypoperfusion and tissue injury and collectively help reduce risks of hypovolemia, inflammation, and ischemia in the newborn. View this paper
