About this trial

Title: Effect of timing of cord clamping of serum calcium levels in neonates Background: Hypocalcemia is a common metabolic problem in neonatal period. Most cases of hypocalcemia are asymptomatic however, the symptomatic cases require prompt management.

Objective: The objective is to determine the effects of early and delayed cord on serum calcium level in neonates Study Design: Randomized Controlled Trial
