Abstract

Reported is the case of a patient who presented in labor with a fetal heart rate tracing that showed repetitive variable decelerations. Time lapse between presentation and delivery was minimized by the ultrasound confirmation of a nuchal cord. Delivery by cesarean section was elected rather than making further attempts at maternal repositioning.
