I have always been able to confirm that it is cord using color Doppler. I have rarely been able to trace the cord (with color) around the front of the neck. For some reason, I have never discovered a nuchal cord when the front of the fetal neck is closest to the transducer.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
