Q1
You are called for a 30-year-old in active labor at home, G3P2, 39 weeks. She reports a sudden gush of fluid and then you observe a loop of umbilical cord at the vaginal opening. Fetal movement decreased; mother is anxious, HR 120, BP 108/70. Contractions every 2 minutes. You position her with hips elevated and minimize cord handling while preparing for immediate transport. You notify medical direction with ETA and findings. How should the AEMT position the patient to manage a prolapsed umbilical cord?
