Untitled Quiz

Complete prolapse = Cord slips completely out of the uterus Partial prolapse = Cord slips down alongside the fetus Occult prolapse = Cord is hidden and cannot be seen during examination Prolapse with rupture = Cord prolapse occurs with membrane rupture

Maternal hypertension = Decreased blood flow to the placenta Umbilical cord accidents = Obstruction of blood flow through the cord Placental abruption = Separation of the placenta from the uterine wall Prolonged labor = Increased pressure on the fetus reducing oxygen supply

Petechiae = Small red or purple spots on the body Hematemesis = Vomiting of blood Ecchymosis = Larger areas of bleeding under the skin Oliguria = Decreased urine output

<p>Occult prolapse = Neither visible nor palpable, occurs when the cord passes through the cervix alongside the presenting part of the fetus Overt prolapse = The cord presents before the fetus and is visible or palpable within the vagina Total occlusion = Complete blockage of the umbilical cord leading to fetal distress Partial occlusion = Blocked segment of the cord causing limited blood flow to the fetus</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>Compression of the fetal neck = Caused by the maternal pelvis during delivery Rapid deterioration in fetal perfusion = Resulting from umbilical cord prolapse Iatrogenic causes = Artificial rupture of membranes that may lead to fetal complications Malpresentation = Fetus positioned incorrectly, increasing risks of complications</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>Thrombocytopenia = Low platelet count leading to increased bleeding risk Prolonged coagulation time = Delayed clotting response during hemostasis Microvascular thrombosis = Formation of small clots that restrict blood flow to organs Fibrinolysis = Breakdown of blood clots contributing to bleeding complications</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>Single Umbilical Cord Prolapse = Cord slips past the presenting part of the fetus Multiple Umbilical Cord Prolapse = More than one cord is involved in the prolapse Cord Prolapse with Ruptured Membranes = Cord descends with the amniotic fluid leaking Cord Prolapse with Intact Membranes = Cord descends while the membranes are still intact</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>Maternal Hypotension = Decreased blood flow to the placenta Umbilical Cord Compression = Reduction of oxygen supply due to cord pressure Placental Abruption = Separation of the placenta from the uterine wall Severe Preeclampsia = Impaired blood flow leading to fetal distress</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>Unengaged presenting part = Increased chances of cord prolapse during labor Intrauterine growth restriction = Fetus smaller than expected for gestational age, leading to complications Breech presentation = Position of the fetus that increases risk of cord issues during delivery Artificial rupture of membranes = Induced procedure that can inadvertently cause cord complications</p> Signup and view all the answers
