7. The Role of Technology in Managing Umbilical Cord Prolapse
Modern technology has improved the diagnosis of umbilical cord prolapse. Advances in ultrasound technology enable earlier and more accurate detection, which is critical for prompt intervention.
Innovations in fetal monitoring have enhanced the ability to detect signs of distress, often a precursor to umbilical cord prolapse. Continuous electronic fetal monitoring can alert healthcare providers to problems quickly.
Telemedicine plays an increasing role in managing high-risk pregnancies. Remote monitoring and consultations can help in the early detection and management of potential complications like umbilical cord prolapse.
The internet offers a wealth of educational resources and support for those affected by or at risk of umbilical cord prolapse. Online communities and information resources provide valuable support and information. (7)
