SUMMARY The transcapillary escape rate of T‐1824 was measured in 12 normal newborn infants and found to be significantly higher among infants with late clamping of the umbilical cord (25.0% per hour) than in early‐clamped infants (19.1% per hour). The magnitude of the placental transfusion was assessed from the volume of the residual placental blood and it was demonstrated that the transcapillary escape rate of T‐1824 increases parallel to the placental transfusion. The disappearance rate of the early‐clamped infants was almost the same as that previously found in early‐clamped infants of diabetic mothers.
