Okay so I'm forgetting a word.
We were in the OB ED and took a lady to the level one trauma center cause she had pre-eclampsia and twins and other high risk stuff.
On the way out, one nurse points out to another nurse some vitals.
They kept using this term. Like "unusual variable" or something?
I forget the word.
I asked them what it meant, they said it either meant the cord was being moved or compressed.
I asked if it was possibly a sign of nuchal cord or a cardiac event. They said yes.
Any idea of what the actual word is? How do they get this data? They were pretty busy because the bag was already presenting and stuff at like 19 weeks.
I guess it's pretty serious cause they said it off happens once and sorts itself out, it's whatever. But this was 2 times in 10 minutes and it wasn't really correcting. They were getting drs on the phone and stuff.
