You are called emergently by the obstetrical nurse because of a sudden, severe, prolonged fetal bradycardia. On manual examination, you make the diagnosis.

Umbilical cord prolapse is an obstetrical emergency when the umbilical cord descends alongside or beyond the fetal presenting part; fetal blood flow is usually compromised. The immediate management involves manually elevating the presenting part. The ultrasound shows umbilical cord (colorflow Doppler) just above the cervical canal.
