Published in: Pediatric reports (2022)

Nuchal cord increases the risk of a caesarean delivery due to a non-reassuring fetal heart rate trace. Nuchal cord increases the chance of a reduced Apgar score (0-7 points) in the first minute of life. The observed relationships do not translate to neonatal arterial blood gas testing.
