nuchal cord
[no̅o̅′kəl] Etymology: Fr, nuque, nape; Gk, chorde an abnormal but common condition in which the umbilical cord is wrapped around the neck of the fetus in utero or of the baby as it is being born. It is usually possible to slip the loop or loops of cord gently over the child's head. Sometimes it is a single loose loop, and the shoulders may deliver through it. If it is tight, it may be clamped in two places and cut with sterile, blunt tipped scissors. The condition occurs in more than 25% of deliveries, more often with long cords than with short ones.

And they want to force hospitals to sto classing the cause of nuchal cord death as "unknown". There is never any attempt to feel for a tight nuchal cord or to clamp or cut if a tight cord is noticed. |
