Respuesta :
An unusual but possibly fatal obstetric emergency is umbilical cord prolapse. The prolapsed cord is pinched between the fetal presenting portion and the cervix when this happens during labor or delivery.
A stillbirth or oxygen deprivation in the fetus can occur as a result of umbilical cord prolapse. During a pelvic exam, the prolapsed chord can be seen or felt to diagnose umbilical cord prolapse. An immediate birth of the infant is necessary in cases of acute obstetric emergency caused by umbilical cord prolapse. The standard delivery method is a cesarean section. Until a surgical section is performed, the doctor will physically elevate the fetal presenting portion to reduce cord compression. Thus, there is a lower chance of fetal oxygen loss. If the prolapsed cord issue can be resolved right away, there might not be any long-term damage. The likelihood that the infant will experience issues (such as brain damage or death) increases with the length of the delay.
