Introduction: Newborns have the highest risk of death in the first 4 weeks of their life and main cause for this is infection. Umbilical cord of a child is an important site for microorganism colonization and also forms a portal of entry for invasive pathogens. To effectively complete umbilical stump separation promptly and safely without experiencing any additional issues, cord care is a crucial stage in neonatal care. Inadequate cord care can result in intra-abdominal abscesses, thrombophlebitis in the umbilical and/or portal veins, periumbilical cellulitis, peritonitis, and bowel ischemia. This study focuses on the umbilical cord separation time by 2 separate cord care regimens: dry cord care and 4% chlorhexidine care group.
