Abstract
(Am J Obstet Gynecol. 2021;225:357–366) Umbilical cord prolapse is an uncommon condition but is associated with high perinatal mortality, with higher rates in low-income countries. It has an incidence from 1 to 6 per 1000 pregnancies. There are still many questions around umbilical cord prolapse. This review aimed to address variations in the definition and classification, the degree of urgency in delivery when umbilical cord prolapse is present, and the efficacy of maneuvers used to relieve cord compression before delivery.
