Cord clamping did not produce a measurable heart rate impact in this study. The absence of a heart rate drop after cord clamping may be related to clamping after breathing began. Modified physiology-based cord clamping used heart rate, breathing, and cord appearance to guide when the cord was clamped. Early cord clamping before ventilation can cause cardiovascular instability by reducing preload to the newborn heart.
