Determinants of Umbilical Cord Prolapse in a Low-Resource Setting

Umbilical Cord prolapse is an infrequent and life-threatening obstetric emergency in which blood flow through the umbilical cord ceases due to an acute compression between the fetus and the uterus, cervix, or pelvic inlet. It differs from cord presentation in which the cord is below the presenting part but with the fetal membranes intact.
