When providing patient care, it is important to be aware of evidence-based research and ways to effectively incorporate the findings into your practice. When using evidence-based research with respect to third stage care and midwifery, it is imperative to utilize research that is derived from randomized trials that provide answers closets to the truth. The author of How evidence-based practice can provide the way forward for third stage care brings up the topic of cord clamping and when it should be done. Past practice has been to clamp the cord early. Many midwives and OBGYNs have carried out this practice without evidence-based research on the risks or benefits of early cord clamping. It is known that early cord clamping reduces red cell mass at birth and restricts neonatal blood volume (Farrar, 2009). The author suggests that when you clamp the cord is dependent on your patients birthing situation. For term births, early clamping can reduce jaundice, but for preterm births, early clamping can increase the need for blood transfusions. There is a need for long-term trials that follow the preterm babies. The authors ultimate position is that midwives need to provide information that is evidence-based to provide the best care for their patients. Using evidence-based information when I become a Certified Nurse Midwife will improve the care that I am giving to my patients. Since science is always changing, it will be imperative to stay abreast of the most recent findings and incorporate them into my practice. By doing so, I will offer the type of care and research that I would want if I were pregnant.
