    Objective: To identify cardiotocographic findings in a true umbilical cord knot in a term pregnant woman at Clínica PROSALUD-Chota. Material and Methods: This is an observational, descriptive, retrospective case study of a term pregnant woman presenting with a non-reactive Non-Stress Test (NST). Findings included non-reactivity, the presence of a mixed deceleration, and spikes suggestive of funicular compression. A literature review was conducted for case discussion. Results: The clinical case involves a term pregnant woman at 39 weeks gestation (by last menstrual period) who presented with a non-reactive NST. Findings included a baseline of 143 bpm, reduced variability, absence of accelerations, a mixed deceleration, and spikes, with more than five fetal movements and a Fisher score of 6/10. After evaluating maternal and fetal conditions, preparation for the operating room was initiated. Operative findings included a triple nuchal cord, a true knot, scant thick meconial amniotic fluid, and a live female newborn weighing 3020 grams with Apgar scores of 6 at 1 minute, 8 at 5 minutes, and 9 at 10 minutes. Conclusion: Fetal cardiotocography is a useful tool for detecting signs of funicular dystocia.
