What Are The Different Evidence

The document outlines the evidence-based benefits of each step of EINC (Early, Immediate and Non-Separation of newborn and mother Contact). Immediate drying stimulates breathing in newborns. Early skin-to-skin contact prevents hypothermia, infection and hypoglycemia. Properly timed cord clamping 1-3 minutes after birth prevents anemia and brain hemorrhage in preemies. Continuous contact and early breastfeeding within the first hour protects against infection and prevents 19% of newborn deaths.

What are the different evidence-based benefits in performing each step of EINC?

1. Immediate and thorough drying of the newborn – Immediate and thorough


drying for 30 seconds to one minute warms the newborn and stimulates
breathing.
2. Early skin-to-skin contact between mother and newborn – Early skin to skin
contact between mother and newborn, and delayed washing for at least 6 hours
prevents hypothermia, infection, and hypoglycemia.
3. Properly-timed cord clamping and cutting – Properly-timed cord clamping and
cutting prevents anemia and protects against brain hemorrhage in premature
newborns. Properly timed cord-clamping means waiting for the cord pulsations to
stop (between 1-3 minutes).
4. Non-separation of newborn and mother for early breastfeeding – Continuous
non-separation of newborn and mother for early breastfeeding protects infants
from dying from infection. The first feed provides colostrum, a substance
equivalent to the babies’ first immunization in its protective properties. Evidence
shows that breastfeeding in the first hour of life prevents about 19% of newborn
deaths.
