What to do with prolapsed pulsating umbilical cords 5 May 1999 <http://bmj.bmjjournals.com/icons/spacer.gif> <http://bmj.bmjjournals.com/icons/spacer.gif> <http://bmj.bmjjournals.com/icons/misc/sectionTOP.gif> Anne Seymour Send response to journal: Re: What to do with prolapsed pulsating umbilical cords <http://bmj.bmjjournals.com/cgi/eletter-submit/318/7192/1192?title=Re%3A +What+to+do+with+prolapsed+pulsating+umbilical+cords> EDITOR-I note from tomorrow's BMJ that patients still present with prolapsed pulsating cords in places where Caesarean section is not possible necessitating transfer of the patient. The article recommends the traditional methods of holding up the presenting part. In West Africa we have found the following method more successful. Pass a catheter and run in one bottle of intravenous saline (or if that is too expensive cooled boiled water). Disconnect the giving set and spigot the catheter. Most patients are very co-operative if they have been given a careful explanation of the procedure. As well as supporting the presenting part the full bladder tends to diminish contractions.

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.
