제대 탈출증과 제대가 매듭질 때, Prolapse of umbilical cord and knotted umbilical cord

Prolapse of the umbilical cord and knotted umbilical cord 제대 탈출증과 제대가 매듭질 때

It is called umbilical escape when the umbilical cord comes out first into the birth canal than the head of the fetus or other advanced parts of the body during delivery.

When the umbilical cord is pressed during umbilical prolapse, blood and oxygen from the mother cannot be supplied normally to the fetus, so distress may occur in the fetus and the fetus may die.

Umbilical cord prolapse with hyperamniotic fluid is prone to occur, and the umbilical cord of the second child being delivered during the delivery of twins is prone to prolapse, and umbilical prolapse can occur when the hip or transverse delivery, the amniotic membrane burst, and in other cases. Treat according to the cause.

Rarely, the umbilical cord may be twisted in the uterus or a knot may form in the umbilical cord. Sometimes the umbilical cord can wrap the baby’s neck, and when the umbilical cord is severely twisted, knotted, or wrapped around the neck, the baby is at considerable risk because the mother does not supply the fetus with blood and oxygen.

When this happens, the fetus moves less and can sometimes even die. Sometimes you need to deliver an emergency cesarean section.

Knowing that many of these pregnancy complications can occur in pregnant women can cause a lot of worry during pregnancy.

But the truth is very rare. Copyright ⓒ 2014 John Sangwon Lee, MD., FAAP
