NUCHAL CORD AT DELIVERY AND PERINATAL OUTCOMES AT THE WOMEN AND CHILDREN HOSPITAL OF AN GIANG
Main Article Content
Abstract
Background: Nuchal cord is a common phenomenon in the late months of pregnancy and can be detrimental to the fetus. The objective of this study was to determine the association of nuchal cord with the unfavorable outcomes for newborns. Subjects and methods: A 1: 2 case-control study conducted at the delivery rooms at the Women and Children hospital of An Giang from 3/2019 to 12/2019, a group of 90 women with nuchal cord and a control group of 180 women without nuchal cord. Results: Nuchal cord did not increase the risk of meconium-stained amniotic fluid, abnormal cardiotocography, increased using oxytocin during labor, and did not increase cesarean section and postpartum asphyxia. Conclusions: There is no association between nuchal cord and risk factors for unfavoable perinatal outcomes.
