This article's citation style does not follow Wikipedia's guidelines, and the last section needs additional citation or verification from an expert, so I added corresponding template messages. I fixed some of the citations, but I cannot verify anything in the treatment section. It seems that the user below has some knowledge into the area. Daskos99 (talk) 01:27, 5 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I

I feel a discussion on cord clamping should be discussed. Many parents and doctors freak out when they see the umbilical cord wrapped around the child's neck. What they don't realize is that the child is okay and still receiving blood and oxygen through the cord! Yet their first instinct is to cut the cord and resucitate the child in another room.

Studies show that the cord can pulsate and send blood and oxygen to the child for up to 20 minutes after birth. Cutting the cord before it has stopped pulsating will harm the child. This harm may not be seen until later in life (see the recent explosion in ADHD, Autism, and Cerebral Palsy, all of which are linked to immediate cord clamping). www.noclamp.com

I work with Doctors who see nuchal cords all of the time, to say that they freak out is doing them a disservice. 63.165.50.227 (talk) 13:40, 12 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If you're going to claim that a particular medical procedure is a responsible for increasing rates of other disorders, try providing a reference to a peer-reviewed article which supports a causal relationship. 72.44.161.138 (talk) 14:23, 26 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sentence not clear

There are two types of Nuchal Cord; Type A and Type B . Type A is wrapped around the neck 380 degrees and Type B is a hitch not a wrap and cannot be undone. J H Collins MD (www.preginst.com) It is not clear what this sentence means: A "Type B" nuchal cord is a hitch and is not wrapped. What is "a hitch"? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.192.31.130 (talk) 19:36, 26 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

References and Citations

I updated all references to conform to Wikipedia templates for journals and books.

While the references are now fixed, the article needs additional citations. A significant number of statements are not referenced. Hopefully, someone with content knowledge will provide updates.Verabuena (talk) 05:30, 27 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
