    I wonder if anyone on here can point me in the right direction.

    We have been given an hypothetical case study discussing potential litagation cases.

    Ours briefly is:
    A woman in 1979 attended delivery suite with SROM, abdomial palpation was cephalic. Presenting part was 3/5th palpable. No VE was performed at the time.
    The presentation was an undiagnosed breech and a cord prolaspe occured later resulting in cerebal palsy.
    The woman argues that a VE shoud have been preformed.
    Therefore I am searching for any guidelines or anybody with any knowledge around how SROM was managed in 1979?

    Any help would be really appreciated. Thank You.
