umbilical cord prolapse

So when that happens, if it's happening too quickly, baby's not gaining enough oxygen, and then eventually we would see that ha- manifest itself through fetal bradycardia.

It can also put mom at risk for an umbilical cord prolapse, for a lot of pain that's not gonna be relieved by anesthesia, and then also potentially for lacerations, tears, episiotomies, and that could put them then at risk for postpartum hemor- hemorrhage.

Okay, so I kinda mentioned this already.

I'm gonna go back over it again, just medications for the induction and augmentation.

So if mom, let's say, receives misoprostol and her cervix is ripening but that ripening doesn't lead to uterine contractions, then we would need to give oxytocin to actually get those uterine contractions going.

Oxytocin's gonna have the same exact adverse effects in terms of that hyperstimulation of the uterus or that tachysystole, which could impair blood flow to the placenta and lead to fetal hypoxia.

Okay, so umbilical cord prolapse, okay? This is our next dystocia.

This is absolutely an emergency.
