The skill is on how to provide explanations so that the patient does not freak out and forces her MD into unnecessary further examinations. (futile since they would not alter the management). Those who review legal case should stand firm on this (an I do). -----Original Message----- From: ultrasound@obgyn.net [mailto:ultrasound@obgyn.net] On Behalf Of Charlotte Henningsen, MS, RT, RDMS, RVT, FSDMS Sent: Thursday, February 19, 2004 1:39 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ULTRASOUND Subject: Nuchal Cord I have heard many times obstetricians and perinatalogist state that sonographers should not be looking for cord around the neck because it only creates angst for the patient with a situation that may be dynamic, very common, and probably insignificant. But I have not been able to find this in the literature. We have a sonographer who is documenting nuchal cord and it is leading to a lot of unnecessary follow up, not to mention worry. Can anyone point to articles that addresses when and if nuchal cord should be documented?
