Background: Active management is use of a prophylactic uterotonic drug, cord clamping and controlled cord traction. Uterotonic drugs reduce the risk of postpartum haemorrhage, but the effects of other components remain unclear. Optimum timing for cord clamping is particularly controversial, with National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) offering different recommendations to World Health Organization (WHO), ICM and Federation Internationale de Gynecologie Obstetrique (FIGO).
Methods: Postal questionnaire of 2230 fellows and members of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RCOG) and 2400 members of the Royal College of Midwives (RCM) in the UK. The questionnaire asked about current practice and views of care during the third stage.
Results: RCOG: 1176
