The umbilical cord is a flexible, tube-like structure that, during pregnancy, connects the fetus to the mother. The umbilical cord is the baby's lifeline to the mother. It transports nutrients to the baby and also carries away the baby's waste products. It is made up of three blood vessels – two arteries and one vein.
Umbilical cord prolapse is a complication that occurs prior to or during delivery of the baby. In a prolapse, the umbilical cord drops (prolapses) through the open cervix into the vagina ahead of the baby. The cord can then become trapped against the baby's body during delivery. Umbilical cord prolapse occurs in approximately one in every 300 births.
An umbilical cord prolapse presents a great danger to the fetus. During the delivery, the fetus can put stress on the cord. This can result in a loss of oxygen to the fetus, and may even result in a stillbirth.
The most common cause of an umbilical cord prolapse is a premature rupture of the membranes that contain the amniotic fluid. Other causes include:
• Premature delivery of the baby
• Delivering more than one baby per pregnancy (twins, triplets, etc.)
• Excessive amniotic fluid
• Breech delivery (the baby comes through the birth canal feet first)
• An umbilical cord that is longer than usual
Diagnosis of a prolapsed umbilical cord can be in several ways.
During delivery, the doctor will use a fetal heart monitor to measure the baby's heart rate. If the umbilical cord has prolapsed, the baby may have bradycardia (a heart rate of less than 120 beats per minute).
The doctor can also conduct a pelvic examination and may see the prolapsed cord, or palpate (feel) the cord with his or her fingers.

Medical Technology Tackles New Health Care Demand - Research Report - March 2...pchutichetpong
M Capital Group (“MCG”) predicts that with, against, despite, and even without the global pandemic, the medical technology (MedTech) industry shows signs of continuous healthy growth, driven by smaller, faster, and cheaper devices, growing demand for home-based applications, technological innovation, strategic acquisitions, investments, and SPAC listings. MCG predicts that this should reflects itself in annual growth of over 6%, well beyond 2028.
According to Chris Mouchabhani, Managing Partner at M Capital Group, “Despite all economic scenarios that one may consider, beyond overall economic shocks, medical technology should remain one of the most promising and robust sectors over the short to medium term and well beyond 2028.”
There is a movement towards home-based care for the elderly, next generation scanning and MRI devices, wearable technology, artificial intelligence incorporation, and online connectivity. Experts also see a focus on predictive, preventive, personalized, participatory, and precision medicine, with rising levels of integration of home care and technological innovation.
The average cost of treatment has been rising across the board, creating additional financial burdens to governments, healthcare providers and insurance companies. According to MCG, cost-per-inpatient-stay in the United States alone rose on average annually by over 13% between 2014 to 2021, leading MedTech to focus research efforts on optimized medical equipment at lower price points, whilst emphasizing portability and ease of use. Namely, 46% of the 1,008 medical technology companies in the 2021 MedTech Innovator (“MTI”) database are focusing on prevention, wellness, detection, or diagnosis, signaling a clear push for preventive care to also tackle costs.
In addition, there has also been a lasting impact on consumer and medical demand for home care, supported by the pandemic. Lockdowns, closure of care facilities, and healthcare systems subjected to capacity pressure, accelerated demand away from traditional inpatient care. Now, outpatient care solutions are driving industry production, with nearly 70% of recent diagnostics start-up companies producing products in areas such as ambulatory clinics, at-home care, and self-administered diagnostics.

2. Presentation and Prolapse of Umbilical Cord
• A loop of cord is below the presenting part.
Occult Prolapsed : cord is placed by side of the presenting part and is not felt
by the fingers on internal examination.
Cord Presentation : cord is slipped down below the presenting part and is felt
lying in the intact bag of membranes.
Cord Prolapsed : cord is lying inside the vagina or outside the vulva following
rupture of the membranes.
3.
4. Prolapsed Cord
• The umbilical cord lies in the birth canal below the fetal presenting part.
• The umbilical cord is visible at the vagina following rupture of the
membranes.
5.
6. Risks of Cord Prolapse
• Cord is compressed between the presenting part and the pelvic inlet, cervix
and vaginal canal.
• Fetal circulation is compromised.
• This may lead to fetal hypoxia, brain damage and death.
7. Etiology
• Cord prolapse may occur when there is adequate room between the fetal
parts and the maternal pelvis.
• Anything which interferes with perfect adoptation of the presenting part to
the lower uterine segment, disturbing the ball valve action may favour cord
prolapse.
8. Predisposing Factors
• Rupture of membranes before the presenting is engaged in the pelvis.
• More common in abnormal fetal presentation such as shoulder, breech and
foot presentation.
• Transverse lie
• Prematurity
• Polyhydraminous
• Multiple gestation
• Abnormal long cord.
• Contracted pelvis
• Placental factor – minor degree placenta previa with marginal insertion of
the cord.
• Iatrogenic – low rupture of membrane, mannual rotation of head and
version.
9. Diagnosis
Occult prolpse
• Is difficult to diagnose.
• Possibility should be suspected if there is persistence of variable
deceleration of fetal heart rate pattern detected on continuous electronic
fetal monitoring
10. Variable decelerations
• Seen as a rapid fall in baseline rate with a variable recovery
phase
• Variable in their duration & may not have any relationship to
uterine contractions
• Most often seen during labour & in patients with reduced
amniotic fluid volume
• Usually caused by umbilical cord compression
• When pressure on the cord is reduced another acceleration
occurs & then the baseline rate returns
• Can sometimes resolve if the mother changes position
• The presence of persistent variable decelerations indicates the
need for close monitoring
11.
12. Diagnosis
Cord Presentation
• Diagnosis is made by feeling the pulsation of the cord through the intact
membranes.
Cord Prolapse
• Cord is palpated directly by the fingers and its pulsation can be felt if the
contraction passes off.
• Loop of cord may be vesible
• Attempt to pull down the loop for visualization or unnecessary handling is
to be avoided to prevent vasospasm.
• Fetus may be alive even in the absence of the cord pulsation. So prompt
USG for cardiac movement or auscultation for FHS to be done before fetal
death is declared.
13. Management
• Principle of Management are:
• To relieve pressure on the cord
• To find out the fetus is alive or dead
• If alive, to deliver expeditiously
• If dead, and the pelvis and presentation are favourable, to wait
spontaneous delivery.
14. General Management
• If an oxytocin infusion is on, this should be stopped.
• Give oxygen at 4–6 L per minute by mask or nasal cannulae.
• Ensure continue fetal monotoring until in operation theater and
commencing caesarean section or until vaginal delivery.
15. Specific Management
PULSATING CORD
If the cord is pulsating, the fetus is alive.
• Diagnose stage of labour by an immediate vaginal examination
• If the woman is in the first stage of labour, in all cases:
– Wearing high-level disinfected or sterile gloves, insert a hand into the
vagina and push the presenting part up to decrease pressure on the cord
and dislodge the presenting part from the pelvis;
– Place the other hand on the abdomen in the suprapubic region to keep the
presenting part out of the pelvis;
– Once the presenting part is firmly held above the pelvic brim, remove the
other hand from the vagina. Keep the hand on the abdomen until
caesarean section;
– If available, give salbutamol 0.5 mg IV slowly over two minutes to
reduce contractions;
– Perform immediate caesarean section
16. If the woman is in the second stage of labour:
• Expedite delivery with episiotomy and vacuum extraction or forceps ;
• If breech presentation, perform breech extraction and apply Piper or
long forceps to the after-coming head ;
• Prepare for resuscitation of the newborn
17. Cord not Pulsating
• If the cord is not pulsating, the fetus is dead. Deliver in the manner that
is safest for the woman.
18. First aid management
• The aim is to minimise pressure on the cord till such time when the patient
is prepared for assisted delivery or is transferred to an equiped hospital.
• Bladder filling to raise the presenting part off the compressed cord.
• Bladder is filled with 400 – 750 ml of NS. Bladder is emptied before CS.
• Lifting the presenting part off the cord
• Postural treatment
• Replacing the cord into the vagina
