Checking one of the ways to separate the umbilical cord-applying a Kocher clamp

Abstract

The question of the care of the umbilical cord and the umbilical cord residue (about the time of separation of the umbilical cord, the method of separating it, the length of the stump, the method of caring for the umbilical cord residue, about the time of its separation, the condition of the subsequent umbilical wound, the meaning of the "umbilical gate for infection of the body, etc.), of course, is not new and has long occupied the minds of many doctors. But still, despite the fact that those who practically came into contact with the newborn were very interested in this issue, the latter has not yet been finally resolved. Many ways of separating the umbilical cord and caring for the umbilical cord of a newborn have been proposed, and there is not one universally recognized. There are supporters of early and late separation of the umbilical cord, supporters of different ways of separating it (dressing, annealing, one cut, crushing, clamping, etc.), supporters of leaving a long and short stump, supporters of aseptic and antiseptic care, dry and oil dressing, supporters of replaceable and permanent dressing, bathing and non-bathing in the first days after birth, etc.
