Bradycardia ‐to‐delivery interval and fetal outcomes in umbilical cord prolapse

ConclusionsThere is significant correlation between bradycardia ‐to‐delivery interval and cord arterial pH in umbilical cord prolapse with fetal bradycardia but not in cases with decelerations or normal heart rate. The drop of cord arterial pH is rapid and urgent delivery is essential in such situations.
