Delayed cord clamping (DCC) for at least 60 seconds is an evidence-based, cost-effective, but globally under-utilised, strategy for improving neonatal and child survival, without compromising maternal well-being. There is paucity of data on the practise of utilisation of DCC among skilled birth attendants (SBAs) in Nigeria, hence this preliminary survey among participants at a Neonatal Resuscitation Training workshop. Of 55 SBAs involved in births, 76.4% were aware of DCC but only 49.1% practised it; only awareness of DCC was associated with its practice, suggesting that education/training of birth attendants on DCC is a potential target for its enhanced uptake/implementation.
