Obstetric and neonatal outcome following chronic hypertension in pregnancy among different ethnic groups. (1/2040)

We retrospectively studied pre-eclampsia rate and obstetric outcome in a cohort of 436 pregnancies amongst 318 women of different ethnic backgrounds attending an antenatal hypertension clinic from 1980-1997, identifying 152 women (213 pregnancies) with chronic essential hypertension. The ethnic breakdown was: White, 64 (30.0%) pregnancies in 48 (31.5%) women; Black/Afro-Caribbean, 79 (37.1%) pregnancies in 56 (36.8%) women; and Indo-Asians, 70 (32.3%) pregnancies in 48 (31.6%) women. The prevalences of pre-eclampsia in White, Black and Indo-Asian women were 17.2%, 12.7% and 18.6%, respectively (p = 0.58). Pregnancies of Indo-Asian women were of shorter gestation, and babies in this group also had lower birth weight and ponderal index compared to those of White and Black women (all p < 0.05). The proportions of overall perinatal mortality were 1.6% for Whites (1/64), 3.8% for Blacks (3/79) and 10.0% for Indo-Asians (7/70), suggesting increased risk in the Indo-Asian group. Indo-Asian women with chronic essential hypertension need careful antenatal care and observation during pregnancy.  (+info)

Outcome of pregnancy in women with congenital shunt lesions. (2/2040)

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the outcome of pregnancy in women with congenital shunt lesions. SETTING: Retrospective study in a tertiary care centre. METHODS: Pregnancy history was obtained by a standardised questionnaire and medical records were reviewed. PATIENTS: 175 women were identified, at a mean (SD) age of 42 (14) years. Pregnancies occurred in 126 women: 50 with an atrial septal defect, 22 with a ventricular septal defect, 22 with an atrioventricular septal defect, 19 with tetralogy of Fallot, and 13 with other complex shunt lesions. RESULTS: 309 pregnancies were reported by 126 woman (2.5 (1.6) pregnancies per woman). The shortening fraction of the systemic ventricle was 40 (8)%, and 98% were in New York Heart Association class I-II at last follow up. Spontaneous abortions occurred in 17% of pregnancies (abortion rate, 0.4 (0.9) per woman). Gestational age of the 241 newborn infants was 8.8 (0.8) months. There were no maternal deaths related to pregnancy. Pre-eclampsia and embolic events were observed in 1.3% and 0.6%, respectively of all pregnancies. Women with complex shunt lesions more often underwent caesarean section (70% v 15-30%, p = 0.005) and gave birth to smaller babies for equivalent gestation (2577 (671) g v 3016 (572) to 3207 (610) g, p < 0.05). The recurrence risk of congenital heart disease was 2.5%. CONCLUSIONS: The outcome of pregnancy is favourable in women with congenital shunt lesions if their functional class and their systolic ventricular function are good. Such patients can be reassured.  (+info)

Desensitization of oxytocin receptors in human myometrium. (3/2040)

In the present study, we investigated the possible mechanisms by which oxytocin might regulate oxytocin receptor (OTR) density. Exposure of cultured myometrial cells to oxytocin for a prolonged period caused desensitization: the steady-state level of oxytocin binding was 210 x 10(3) binding sites/cell, but this was time-dependently reduced to 20.1 x 10(3) sites/cell by exposing the cells to oxytocin for up to 20 h. In contrast, Western blotting data showed that the total amount of OTR protein was not affected by oxytocin treatment for up to 24 h. Flow cytometry experiments demonstrated that OTRs were not internalized during this treatment. However, RNase protection assays and Northern analysis showed that in cultured myometrial cells OTR mRNA was reduced by oxytocin treatment to reach a new low steady-state concentration. Analysis of this mRNA in myometrial biopsies from 17 patients undergoing emergency Caesarean section showed how it decreased with advancing labour. Samples obtained after 12 h of labour contained approximately 50 times less OTR mRNA than samples obtained from patients in labour for less than 12 h. We speculate that this decrease in OTR mRNA represents in-vivo OTR desensitization.  (+info)

Primary aldosteronism with aldosterone-producing adrenal adenoma in a pregnant woman. (4/2040)

A 30-year-old pregnant woman complained of muscle weakness at 29 weeks' gestation. She was hypertensive with severe hypokalemia. Lower plasma renin activity and higher aldosterone level than the normal values in pregnancy suggested primary aldosteronism. A cesarean delivery was performed at 31 weeks' gestation because of pulmonary congestion. The neonatal course was uncomplicated. The laparoscopic adrenalectomy for a 2.0-cm right adrenal adenoma resulted in normalizing of her blood pressure and serum potassium level. Although primary aldosteronism is rare, especially during pregnancy, it should be always considered as one of etiologies of hypertension in pregnancy.  (+info)

Fetal growth rate and adverse perinatal events. (5/2040)

OBJECTIVE: To study fetal weight gain and its association with adverse perinatal events in a serially scanned high-risk population. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: A total of 200 pregnant women considered at increased risk of uteroplacental insufficiency had a total of 1140 scans in the third trimester, with a median of six scans in each pregnancy. The average fetal growth rate was retrospectively calculated for the last 6 weeks to birth, and expressed as daily weight gain in grams per day. Adverse pregnancy outcome was defined as operative delivery for fetal distress, acidotic umbilical artery pH (< 7.15), or admission to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). RESULTS: Fetuses with normal outcome in this high-risk pregnancy population had an average antenatal growth rate of 24.2 g/day. Compared to pregnancies with normal outcome, the growth rate was slower in those that required operative delivery for fetal distress (20.9 g/day, p < 0.05) and those that required admission to the NICU (20.3 g/day, p < 0.05). The growth rate in pregnancies resulting in acidotic umbilical artery pH also seemed lower, but this did not reach statistical significance. CONCLUSIONS: Impaired fetal weight gain prior to birth is associated with adverse perinatal events suggestive of growth failure.  (+info)

First-trimester cord entanglement in monoamniotic twins. (6/2040)

OBJECTIVE: Monoamniotic twinning occurs in only 1% of twin pregnancies, but carries a high perinatal mortality rate. Early and reliable diagnosis is essential if attempts are to be made to reduce the complication rate. We report color Doppler demonstration of cord entanglement in the first trimester, which is diagnostic of monoamnionicity. METHODS: Two patients with twin pregnancies were examined in the first trimester with pulsed and color Doppler insonation of their umbilical arteries. RESULTS: Cord entanglement was suspected and proved by demonstrating differing fetal heart rate patterns in the same direction on umbilical artery Doppler analysis of a common mass of cord vessels. Following appropriate counselling, medical amnioreduction was induced at 20 weeks of gestation to reduce fetal movements and worsening cord entanglement. Delivery was by elective Cesarean section at 32 weeks' gestation and monoamnionicity was confirmed. CONCLUSION: We report a new sign for the demonstration of monoamnionicity in twin pregnancies in the first trimester. This should improve the reliability of early diagnosis, but further studies are required to confirm that, if cord entanglement occurs, it is usually present by the end of the first trimester.  (+info)

The mode of delivery and the risk of vertical transmission of human immunodeficiency virus type 1--a meta-analysis of 15 prospective cohort studies. The International Perinatal HIV Group. (7/2040)

BACKGROUND: To evaluate the relation between elective cesarean section and vertical transmission of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1), we performed a meta-analysis using data on individual patients from 15 prospective cohort studies. METHODS: North American and European studies of at least 100 mother-child pairs were included in the meta-analysis. Uniform definitions of modes of delivery were used. Elective cesarean sections were defined as those performed before onset of labor and rupture of membranes. Multivariate logistic-regression analysis was used to adjust for other factors known to be associated with vertical transmission. RESULTS: The primary analysis included data on 8533 mother-child pairs. After adjustment for receipt of antiretroviral therapy, maternal stage of disease, and infant birth weight, the likelihood of vertical transmission of HIV-1 was decreased by approximately 50 percent with elective cesarean section, as compared with other modes of delivery (adjusted odds ratio, 0.43; 95 percent confidence interval, 0.33 to 0.56). The results were similar when the study population was limited to those with rupture of membranes shortly before delivery. The likelihood of transmission was reduced by approximately 87 percent with both elective cesarean section and receipt of antiretroviral therapy during the prenatal, intrapartum, and neonatal periods, as compared with other modes of delivery and the absence of therapy (adjusted odds ratio, 0.13; 95 percent confidence interval, 0.09 to 0.19). Among mother-child pairs receiving antiretroviral therapy during the prenatal, intrapartum, and neonatal periods, rates of vertical transmission were 2.0 percent among the 196 mothers who underwent elective cesarean section and 7.3 percent among the 1255 mothers with other modes of delivery. CONCLUSIONS: The results of this meta-analysis suggest that elective cesarean section reduces the risk of transmission of HIV-1 from mother to child independently of the effects of treatment with zidovudine.  (+info)

Maternal intrapartum temperature elevation as a risk factor for cesarean delivery and assisted vaginal delivery. (8/2040)

OBJECTIVES: This study investigated the association of intrapartum temperature elevation with cesarean delivery and assisted vaginal delivery. METHODS: Participants were 1233 nulliparous women with singleton, term pregnancies in vertex presentations who had spontaneous labors and were afebrile (temperature: 99.5 degrees F [37.5 degrees C]) at admission for delivery. Rates of cesarean and assisted vaginal deliveries according to highest intrapartum temperature were examined by epidural status. RESULTS: Women with maximum intrapartum temperatures higher than 99.5 degrees F were 3 times as likely to experience cesarean (25.2% vs 7.2%) or assisted vaginal delivery (25.2% vs 8.5%). The association was present in epidural users and nonusers and persisted after birthweight, epidural use, and labor length had been controlled. In adjusted analyses, temperature elevation was associated with a doubling in the risk of cesarean delivery (odds ratio [OR] = 2.3, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.5, 3.4) and assisted vaginal delivery (OR = 2.1, 95% CI = 1.4, 3.1). CONCLUSIONS: Modest temperature elevation developing during labor was associated with higher rates of cesarean and assisted vaginal deliveries. More frequent temperature elevation among women with epidural analgesia may explain in part the higher rates of cesarean and assisted vaginal deliveries observed with epidural use.  (+info)

Introduction: Caesarean section rates are increasing worldwide. There are many reasons for this increasing caesarean section rate one of them is increasing requests by women for caesarean section in the absence of medical indications. Most women think that elective caesarean section is safe both for women and babies. Some clinician also considered caesarean section safe. An increasing rate of caesarean section is alarming in developed as well as underdeveloped countries.. Objective: To investigate the frequency of caesarean section on maternal request and factors leading to it in a private teaching hospital.. Materials and Methods: This was a cross-sectional descriptive study carried out at Shalamar hospital from 1st May 2018 to 30th April 2019. Women of all ages who were pregnant and were going to have caesarean delivery during the study period at Shalamar hospital.. Results: There were 3438 total births during the study period. There were 2380(69%) caesarean section and 1058(31%) were normal ...

Swedish caregivers attitudes towards caesarean section on maternal requestSwedish caregivers attitudes towards caesarean section on maternal request
Background Caesarean section (CS) is not an option that women in Sweden can chose themselves, although the rise in CS rate has been attributed to women. This study describes obstetricians and midwives attitudes towards CS on maternal request. Methods A qualitative descriptive study, with content analysis of 5 focus group discussions where 16 midwives and 9 obstetricians participated. Results The overarching theme was identified as Caesarean section on maternal request-a balance between resistance and respect. On the one hand, CS was viewed as a risky project; on the other hand, request for a CS was understood and respected when women had had a previous traumatic birth experience. Still, a CS was not really seen as a solution for childbirth related fear. Five categories were related to the theme. Overall, our findings indicate that caregivers blamed the women for the increase, they considered the management of CS on maternal request difficult, and they suggested preventive methods to reduce ...

Clinical Trial: Predictors Of Scar Dehiscence In Patients With Previous Caesarean Section - Healthcare / Medical - Shine.comClinical Trial: Predictors Of Scar Dehiscence In Patients With Previous Caesarean Section - Healthcare / Medical - Shine.com
U.S., May 11 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT03140683) titled Predictors of Scar Dehiscence in Patients With Previous Caesarean Section on May 3. Brief Summary: In recent decades, the percentage of Cesarean section deliveries has dramatically increased in most countries. Concomitantly, the rates of vaginal birth after Cesarean have decreased steadily. The pregnant women with previous Cesarean section face a difficult choice for their next delivery between a trial of labor after Cesarean or repeat caesarean section delivery. The performance of multiple Cesarean section exposes women to greater risks of complications; furthermore, the risk of complications increases with each subsequent Cesarean section. In fact, women with previous Cesarean section are more likely to experience short and long-term maternal complications in future pregnancies, or a trial of labor after Cesarean, with the risk of [uterine dehiscence, uterine rupture, genitourinary ...

Maternal perceptions about caesarean section contribute to delayed presentation of women for emergency obstetric care. This increases the risks of perinatal and neonatal mortality and slows down the reductions needed to achieve the sustainable development goal (SDG) target of reducing neonatal mortality and ending new-born deaths. The aim of the study is to determine maternal perceptions about caesarean section deliveries and their role in reducing neonatal mortality at a regional and a district hospital in the Upper West Region of Ghana. This descriptive study was carried out at two hospitals in the Upper West Region, the most rural region in Ghana, between 15th January and 29th June, 2018. Maternal perceptions were examined among antenatal care attendants at the Upper West Regional Hospital (UWRH) and St Josephs Hospital Jirapa (SJH), a district hospital, using questionnaires administered by trained nurses. Altogether, 416 completed questionnaires were obtained, comprising 206 from expectant women

Variation in obstetric infection prevention and control at caesarean section - ACIPC Conference CommunityVariation in obstetric infection prevention and control at caesarean section - ACIPC Conference Community
Mrs Elizabeth Martin1, Dr Michael Beckmann2, Professor Nicholas Graves1. 1Queensland University Of Technology, Kelvin Grove, Australia,. 2Mater Health Services, South Brisbane, Australia. Introduction. Surgical site infections following caesarean section are a preventable problem for women and health services. Unique best-practice infection prevention opportunities exist for the peri-operative and surgical process of caesarean section. Some variation in caesarean section peri-operative and surgical practice is justifiable and desirable when individual patients health needs or health preferences are being met. However, clinical practice that varies from the best-practice is unwarranted as it may increase surgical site infection risk. The aim of this study was to identify the extent of unwarranted variation in infection prevention at caesarean section amongst Australian Obstetricians.. Methods. Australian Obstetricians were asked in an electronic survey, whether they usually implement 34 ...

Caesarean section on maternal request (CSMR) is carried out in the absence of maternal or fetal indications. One of the main psychological causes is tokophobia, an intense fear of childbirth affecting between six to ten percent of women.. In addition, women who have had previous vaginal delivery may request caesarean section because of adverse experiences during labour known as secondary tokophobia.. The authors of the review state that rather than counselling women requesting caesarean section about the risks, a better approach would be to explore the reasons for the request.. For women with tokophobia, frequent, regular psychotherapy by trained personnel to address why they are requesting a caesarean section is recommended by the review.. Authors state health workers need to have detailed discussions with women requesting a caesarean section about the unpredictability of events surrounding labour, the lack of control and the need for a flexible birth plan.

Sociodemographic factors and incidence of caesarean sections in MozambiqueSociodemographic factors and incidence of caesarean sections in Mozambique
According to this study, the socio-demographic factors are related to the incidence of caesarean sections in Mozambique. The connection was found by carrying out cross tabulations, Pearson`s χ2- tests and logistic regression analyses. In 1994-1997 age group and parity were associated with incidence of caesarean sections when adjusted with all confounders. The older the mother was, the higher was the risk of a caesarean section. Women having their first child had caesarean section more often than women having at least their second or third child. People living in urban areas more likely receive a caesarean section than those in rural areas. In 1998-2003, in addition to age, parity and area of residence, the study found the wealth index to be the strongly associated socio-demographic factor for caesarean section. Caesarean sections were more common among women who-or whose partners-were highly educated. Socio-demographical factors, especially parity, have stronger association in incidence of ...

Rate of caesarean section as a process indicator of safe-motherhood programmes: the case of Kenya.Rate of caesarean section as a process indicator of safe-motherhood programmes: the case of Kenya.
The study assessed the value of currently-available data on the rates of caesarean section as an indicator of safe-motherhood programmes. Data, collected through the routine health information system of the Ministry of Health, Kenya, were used for analyzing the available process indicators. The methodology of this study illustrates both usefulness and limitations of readily-available healthcare information. The rate of hospital-based caesarean section was 6.3% of all births (range 0.3-37%), whereas the rate of population-based caesarean section was 0.95% (range 0.1%-4%). The rate of population-based caesarean section indicates a significant unmet need for obstetric care in the rural areas and may be a useful tool for monitoring progress on safe-motherhood initiatives in poor settings. Rates of population-based caesarean section are low in Kenya, especially in the rural areas. The rate of caesarean section may be a valuable process indicator for identifying the gaps in obstetric care and may be ...

Preliminary data for 2003 indicated that 27.6% of all births in the United States resulted from cesarean deliveries, an increase of 6% from 2002 and the highest percentage ever reported in the United States. After declines during 1989--1996, the total cesarean rate and the primary cesarean rate (i.e., percentage of cesareans among women with no previous cesarean delivery; 19.1% in 2003) have increased each year. In addition, the rate of VBAC, which had increased during 1989--1996, decreased by 63% to 10.6% in 2003.

The rate of births by caesarian section is used as a health service coverage indicator. It reflects the accessibility of basic health interventions to a given population. It is computed by dividing the number of caesarian section deliveries by the total number of live births.. The most common indications for caesarian section include fetal distress, malpresentation, failure to progress in labor, and previous caesarian section. Worldwide, the average number of CS deliveries is at 16%. In low income countries, the average is at 6%, while those in upper middle and high income countries are at 30%. The African Region has the lowest rates at 4%, while the WHO Region of the Americas has the highest rates at 36%. Countries like Ethiopia, Chad, Madagascar and Mali have CS rates of 2%.

All of the six studies examined were comparative cohort studies. As they were not randomised trials, there is the potential for bias. When methodological quality was assessed on the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale there was a medium risk of selection bias and a medium to high risk of bias in comparability and outcome assessment for most studies. For example, in one study,1 elective caesarean sections were exclusively carried out by doctors, whereas emergencies were carried out by both doctors and clinical officers. As elective caesarean section is associated with better outcomes than emergency caesarean section,13 this arrangement would have conferred an advantage to doctors. Furthermore, clinical officers tend to be located in rural areas,3 where access to lifesaving facilities such as blood transfusion and high dependency care may not be available. Another study8 tackled such issues by adjusting for rural setting, previous caesarean section, haemorrhage, other perioperative medical complications, and ...

The Effectiveness of Gabapentin for Post-operative Pain Following Cesarean Section - Tabular View - ClinicalTrials.govThe Effectiveness of Gabapentin for Post-operative Pain Following Cesarean Section - Tabular View - ClinicalTrials.gov
Post-operative pain is the greatest fear of women who undergo Cesarean section, and despite current analgesic regimens, this pain can be severe, impeding the mothers recovery and her ability to bond with and breastfeed her new infant. Opioids are the mainstay of treatment currently, and, although effective, these drugs have significant adverse effects, including sedation, nausea, vomiting and constipation. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can reduce opioid consumption, but also have side effects, and are contra-indicated in a significant number of patients. Therefore there remains considerable scope to improve post-Cesarean analgesia.. It has been shown that severe acute post-operative pain after Cesarean section increases the risk of developing chronic pain and post-partum depression. A recent study showed that up to 18% of women have persistent pain after Cesarean section, and that severe acute post-operative pain is a significant risk factor.. Gabapentin is used widely to treat ...

Older, primiparous mothers were much more likely to have a no indicated risk primary caesarean; almost one fifth (19.5%) of primiparous mothers aged over 34 had such a delivery in 2001. More than 5% of multiparous mothers over 34 who had had previous vaginal births also had a no indicated risk primary caesarean in 2001. Among mothers under 30 with no indicated risk, the primary caesarean rate grew by more than half (58%) between 1991 and 2001 to 4.9%.. The raw numbers of births also illustrates this trend. In 2001, 80 028 no indicated risk primary caesareans took place in the United States, an increase of 25 162 since 1996. This represented 25.8% of the total increase (97 659) in primary caesareans between 1996 and 2001.. We used multivariate logistic regression analysis (SAS version 8) to examine changes in primary caesarean rates after controlling for parity; maternal ethnicity, age, and education; birth weight; and data year (1991, 1996, or 2001) (see table on bmj.com). We ran models for all ...

The increasing rate of intrapartum cesarean sections in high resource countries is subject of attention and concern as it is associated with adverse outcomes for mother and infant [1]. Intrapartum cesarean sections that neither benefit mother nor infant should be avoided. An uncomplicated vaginal birth in nulliparous women strongly predicts uncomplicated labors and deliveries in subsequent pregnancies [2], while intrapartum cesarean sections are associated with a 50% subsequent cesarean section rate [3] and adverse outcome for the mother [4-6] and for the baby [7, 8]. The economic aspect of labor is also of importance as an intrapartum cesarean section is significantly more expensive compared to a spontaneous vaginal delivery [9]. The rate of cesarean sections for nulliparous women with a singleton fetus in a cephalic presentation and spontaneous onset of labor at term has increased from 5.7% to 9.2% in Norwegian hospitals (2000-2012) [10]. The most common indication for intrapartum cesarean ...

Caesarean section is a common major operation performed on women in the world. There are many possible ways of performing a caesarean section. Operation and operative techniques vary depending on the clinical situation and surgeon preferences. Safe delivery is important for mother and infant. Any potential reduction of birth trauma to the infant has to be balanced against increased ill-health for the mother [9]. This is a prospective randomized controlled study performed on a total of 120 pregnant patients with one or more previous cesarean sections. patients were randomized in to two groups, 60 patients for whom inverted T-LSCS was performed (group A), and another60 patients for whom transverse lower segment curvilinear incision of the uterus was performed (group B). All CS were elective. Statistically significant difference was found between both groups as regard to socio-demographic and clinical characteristics. In the present study the incision-delivery interval was comparable for both ...

The Cesarean Section: An Analysis of Surgical Utlization and Medical U by Kathleen A. CagneyThe Cesarean Section: An Analysis of Surgical Utlization and Medical U by Kathleen A. Cagney
The cesarean section, delivery of the fetus by incision through the abdominal and uterine wall (Leavitt, 1986:272), is a fascinating procedure indeed. Once a heroic gesture done to save the unborn infant from its dying mother, the cesarean section has become a common medical procedure. Between 1968 and 1977, the cesarean section rates in the United States have tripled, reaching 15.2 percent in 1978 and making the cesarean the tenth most common surgical procedure in the United States (Gleicher, 198^:3273). The cesarean rate has continued to rise from 16.5 percent of deliveries in 1980 (Placek, 1983) to 22.7 percent in 1985 (Placek and Taffel, 1987). This upward trend in cesarean delivery is evident in all types of medical facilities, in all regions of the country, and among women of all educational and income levels (Guillemin, 1981:15).

Neonatal consequences of cesarean section on the presumably healthy infant | MetaNeonatal consequences of cesarean section on the presumably healthy infant | Meta
The authors studied the effects on the child of 196 caesarian sections performed in the absence of foetal distress. The following were noted for each child: the time before the first cry, the Apgar score, pH and the need or not for resuscitation techniques. Each feature was studied in terms of different factors: foetal, obstetric, anaesthetic and surgical. The conclusions were as follows: caesarian section, which remains the best means of preventing obstetric trauma, has its own direct complications which are linked to the conditions in which the operation takes place. These can be reduced to a minimum or even completely suppressed if the caesarian section is performed under ideal conditions: few or no depressant drugs before the operation (the use of diazepam for induction should be abandoned); inclined position of 15 degrees, even of the mother has never suffered from utero-caval syndrome and if possible on a heated mattress; extraction of the infant between the 5th and 15th minutes; finally, ...

Saúde Pública - Delivery settings and caesarean section rates in China Delivery settings and caesarean section rates in ChinaSaúde Pública - Delivery settings and caesarean section rates in China Delivery settings and caesarean section rates in China
In the survey, women were asked whether they had requested a caesarean delivery. Among those who had a birth during 2001 2002, 50.7% responded in the affirmative; this compares with an overall figure of 44.7% for the decade preceding the survey. Mothers who resided in urban areas and the western region, those who had senior high school education and above, and those employed in professional and service sectors were more likely to respond in the affirmative to this question (results not shown separately).. Discussion. The increase in rates of caesarean delivery observed over time in our study population was not fully explained by the increase in the rates of institutional birth alone. Instead, they were likely to be driven by the twin pressures of obstetricians favouring recourse to caesarean delivery and women s demand for the procedure. The analysis demonstrated that use of antenatal care, especially ultrasound scanning, was also associated with a greater likelihood of caesarean delivery. The ...

General Anesthesia for Emergency Cesarean Delivery: A Look at Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics in the Parturient |...General Anesthesia for Emergency Cesarean Delivery: A Look at Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics in the Parturient |...
Cesarean delivery is one of the most common surgical procedures. In the United States, more than 1 million cesarean sections are performed each year, accounting for more than 30% of births. The majority of these procedures are performed using a regional technique; general anesthesia is reserved for patients who have a contraindication to a regional block or for emergencies, when there is not enough time for a regional block. Consequently, general anesthesia for cesarean delivery is relatively rare, and providers may be less comfortable administering it to parturients. Their discomfort is warranted. Although straightforward, general anesthetic for cesarean section is fraught with adverse events, including an increased risk of awareness, aspiration, difficult airway with hypoxia, drug-related uterine atony, and neonatal respiratory depression. ...

Objective: To evaluate the effect of chewing sugar-free gum on gastrointestinal function recovery after cesarean section. Methods: Randomized controlled trials comparing the use of chewing gum in postoperative recovery with a control group were retrieved from the databases including Pubmed, Cochrane Library, Science Direct, Web of Science, CBM, CNKI, Wanfang and VIP, et al. After screening literatures, evaluating the quality of studies, extracting data, the RevMan5.3 software was used for data analysis. Results: A total of 13 RCTs including 2233 patients were analyzed in the study. The results showed that chewing gum after cesarean delivery can effectively shorten the recovery time of bowel sounds, passage of flatus and first defecation (all P < 0.05). Conclusion: Chewing sugar-free gum after cesarean section can promote the early recovery of gastrointestinal function, but the side effects of chewing gum are still unclear, which needs more clinical, large sample and high-quality studies to

Cesarean section - A Good BirthCesarean section - A Good Birth
How to avoid an unnecesarean? Too many women are delivered surgically without any evidence that they really needed this. The WHO recently stated that Cesarean sections should only be performed if medically necessary.. A Cesarean section is major abdominal surgery and, like everything in life, has its own risks attached. A Cesarean section influences all your subsequent pregnancies and births.. The expert appraoch of Proactive Support of Labor absolutely increases your chances of a normal birth, but sadly in countries like the USA, China and Brazil, to name a few, Cesarean rates are soaring. Quite often there is a financial incentive for the obstetrician, not to mention the convenience of scheduled surgery instead of just sitting with a woman, Supporting her.. There are too many stories of women more or less forced into Cesareans because of: an estimated large baby, a tightly closed cervix at 38 weeks, a failed induction because the dr wanted her to deliver because of his holidays, etc. The list ...

Appropriateness of Cesarean Sections using the RAND Appropriateness Method CriteriaAppropriateness of Cesarean Sections using the RAND Appropriateness Method Criteria
BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to identify the appropriateness of cesarean sections, performed in Tehran hospitals using standardized Rand Appropriateness Method (RAM) criteria. METHODS: In this study we used the RAM criteria. In order to prepare the list of cesarean scenarios, clinical guidelines were selected, and the Appraisal of Guidelines for Research and Evaluation was used to choose the most appropriate. Two panels were held with the participation of related specialists. The scenarios derived through this method were compared with data existing in the medical records of 250 women who underwent cesarean sections in selected hospitals affiliated with Tehran University of Medical Sciences. The appropriateness rate of the cesarean sections was calculated.   RESULTS: Out of 250 cases of cesarean sections performed, 91 (36.4%) were inappropriate, 41 (16.4%) were equivocal and 118 (47.2%) were considered to be appropriate. Appropriateness differed between public and private hospitals,

PROPHYLACTIC ANTIBIOTICS PRIOR TO CESAREAN SECTION IN OBESE WOMEN - Full Text View - ClinicalTrials.govPROPHYLACTIC ANTIBIOTICS PRIOR TO CESAREAN SECTION IN OBESE WOMEN - Full Text View - ClinicalTrials.gov
Surgical site infections are common and a cause of major morbidity. They are also more common in obese women. Cesarean sections are the most common surgery performed in the United States, therefore pregnant women are being faced with this problem frequently. There is evidence to show that prophylactically administered antibiotics, cefazolin specifically, to obese women prior to cesarean section do not reach adequate concentrations in adipose tissue to prevent infection. The purpose of this study is to evaluate if an increased dose of cefazolin will attain adequate tissue concentration in obese women. Our hypothesis is that three grams of cefazolin given no more than 60 minutes prior to the start of a cesarean section in an obese (Body mass index (BMI) greater than or equal to 30) woman will attain adequate adipose tissue concentration compared to two grams of cefazolin.. Subjects will be selected if they are greater than 37 weeks gestation wiht a singleton pregnancy and require a cesarean ...

UK Hospitals Ban Planned Caesarean Births to Cut CostsUK Hospitals Ban Planned Caesarean Births to Cut Costs
The average caesarean birth costs more than twice the amount of a natural, uncomplicated birth. Thats big money for cash-strapped hospitals which is exactly why they have recently banned all non-emergency caesarean births.. The ban is much different than the discouragement that hospitals have practiced in the past. Previously, moms were simply educated about the risks. The new ban makes it practically impossible for women to go ahead with a planned caesarean unless there is proof that either mother or babys life would be endangered through a vaginal birth.. Case studies have been conducted on the number of caesarean births all over the world. Rates have been rising steadily throughout almost every country, including the UK. According to the studies, one-fourth of all births in the UK are now caesareans. This is a dramatic rise from the 9 percent of caesarean births in 1980.. UK hospitals arent the first to ban non-emergent caesarean births. Major hospitals in Phoenix, Arizona also banned ...

Many countries have an increasing rate of caesarean section. Higher rates do not always give additional health gains and they can increase maternal risks and affect subsequent pregnancies. Active management of labour has been proposed to reduce the number of caesarean births. Active management includes routine amniotomy (artificial rupture of the membranes), strict rules for diagnosing slow progress, use of the intravenous drug oxytocin to increase contractions of the uterus and one-to-one care. The disadvantages of active management are that it can possibly lead to more invasive monitoring, more interventions and a more medicalised birth in which women have less control and less satisfaction. The review included seven trials involving 5390 women. These studies show that women who received active management were slightly less likely to have a caesarean section and were more likely to have shorter labours (less than 12 hours). There was no difference in the number of assisted deliveries, nor was ...

Cesarean Section on the Risk of Celiac Disease in the Offspring: The Teddy StudyCesarean Section on the Risk of Celiac Disease in the Offspring: The Teddy Study
Objective: Cesarean section (C-section) is associated with various immune-mediated diseases in the offspring. We investigated the relationship between mode of delivery and celiac disease (CD) and CD autoimmunity (CDA) in a multinational birth cohort. Methods: From 2004 to 2010, infants from the general population who tested positive for HLADR3-DQ2 or DR4-DQ8 were enrolled in The Environmental Determinants for Diabetes in the Young (TEDDY) study. Children were annually screened for transglutaminase autoantibodies, if positive, they are retested after 3 to 6 months and those persistently positive defined as CDA. Associations of C-section with maternal (age, education level, parity, pre-pregnancy weight, diabetes, smoking, weight gain during pregnancy) and child characteristics (gestational age, birth weight) were examined by Fisher exact test or Wilcoxon rank-sum test. Hazard ratios (HRs) for CDA or CD were calculated by Cox proportional hazard regression models. Results: Of 6087 analyzed ...

About one birth in every four in Australia is by caesarean section, and that rate appears to be increasing. The proportionof births by caesarean vary significantly from region to region, and the most appropriate rate is a matter of some debate. A caesarean section is needed when delivery through the birth canal (vagina) is not possible or when vaginal delivery would pose a danger to the mother or baby.

OBJECTIVE: Preexisting diabetes in pregnancy is associated with a high risk of emergency cesarean section (CS), which is associated with increased risk of maternal and neonatal complications. Thus, the aim of this study was to identify possible predictors of emergency CS in women with preexisting diabetes.. STUDY DESIGN: This is a secondary analysis of a prospective observational study of 204 women with preexisting diabetes (118 with type 1 diabetes and 86 with type 2) with singleton pregnancies recruited at Rigshospitalet, Copenhagen, Denmark from August 2015 to February 2018. Mode of delivery (trial of labor or planned CS) was individually planned in late pregnancy based on clinical variables reflecting maternal and fetal health including glycemic control and ultrasonically estimated fetal weight. Univariate and multivariable analyses were performed to identify possible predictors of in labor emergency CS.. RESULTS: Trial of labor was planned in 79 % (n = 162) of the women of whom 65 % (n = ...

Abdominal Wall Endometriomas at Cesarean Section Scars: A Case SeriesAbdominal Wall Endometriomas at Cesarean Section Scars: A Case Series
Endometriosis, a common gynecological condition, is defined as the presence of functioning endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity. It often presents as a cyclic, hormonally stimulated pain in women during their reproductive years. While endometriosis is usually located within the pelvis, it may also occur at intraperitoneal, intestinal, perineal, and distant ectopic sites. Although often diffuse, a localized, focal mass of endometrial tissue is termed as an endometrioma. In rare occurrences, an endometrioma will present superficially to the peritoneum within the abdominal wall following gynecologic or obstetric surgery. The presence of an abdominal wall endometrioma within a cesarean section scar may pose a diagnostic dilemma, which is often misdiagnosed, and results in surgery referrals for treatment. The clinical symptoms and sonographic appearance of abdominal wall endometriomas occurring at cesarean section scars are highlighted in this case series.

Vaginal Birth After CesareanVaginal Birth After Cesarean
Women who have had a prior c-section have the option of a undergoing vaginal birth after c-section (VBAC) or an elective repeat c-section. A successful vaginal birth carries a lower risk to the woman than does a repeat c-section. Women undergoing a vaginal delivery will generally have an easier recovery with fewer problems after delivery and a shorter hospital stay than those who have a c-section.. However, there are certain individuals who are more likely to be successful for a VBAC than others. If your prior cesarean section had been performed for a fetal issue (I.e. baby was breech, heart rate was worrisome, etc.), the likelihood of a successful VBAC approaches 85%. If your prior cesarean section was done for a maternal reason (i.e. stopped dilating, baby didnt fit through the pelvis), the likelihood of a successful VBAC is only around 50%.. There are risks associated with undergoing a VBAC. The most serious risk is that of uterine rupture. In most cases, cesarean sections are performed with ...

A Study of Adequacy of informed consent for Caesarean Section at the University Teaching Hospital, Lusaka, ZambiaA Study of Adequacy of informed consent for Caesarean Section at the University Teaching Hospital, Lusaka, Zambia
Background. Informed consent consists of availing information to the patient in an understandable manner without coercion to allow the patient to make an informed decision about their health care. In the case of informed consent for caesarean section, this information must include the name, nature, intended benefits of the procedure, risks of the procedure, alternative procedures, implications on future reproductive health and anaesthetic options Little attention, in Zambia, has been paid to whether patients receive adequate consent before operation and its implications for future reproductive capacity; this study aims to explore this aspect.Methods. This was a cross sectional study in which post-caesarean section mothers were interviewed in the postnatal wards at the University Teaching Hospital (UTH), Lusaka, Zambia after under going emergency (n=l 15) and elective caesarean section (n=32). Information was obtained using a standardized questionnaire. Adequacy was determined by asking about ...

When labour is induced there may be higher uterine rupture and repeat caesarean section (CS) rates in women with previous CS, compared to when labour starts spontaneously.1 The method of induction of labour (IOL) in women with previous CS remains controversial, as there is a higher risk of uterine rupture when prostaglandins (PGs) are used compared with the use of non-prostaglandin methods.2 For women with previous CS, NICE guidance recommends PGs for routine use in IOL,3 however, obstetricians concerned about the increased uterine rupture risk may prefer to offer elective CS instead, therefore increasing CS rates.. Comparisons between the use of cervical dilator balloon catheters versus PGs in nulliparous women have shown similar efficacy in establishing labour, without the risks of uterine hyperstimulation or rupture.4 5 IOL with Cook cervical dilator balloon was introduced ...

The risks of VBAC. The most serious but rare risk of women attempting a VBAC is uterine rupture. A uterine rupture is a tear or hole in the uterus. There is an increased risk of uterine rupture with VBAC compared to ERCS. The rates of uterine rupture are approximately one in every 200 women who labour and have previously had a caesarean section, and one in every 5000 women who choose ERCS.. A uterine rupture can be very small or large. In most circumstances this is quickly identified and we are able to make plans for the safe delivery of your baby. While very rare, uterine rupture can be associated with significant bleeding for you (including the potential need for a blood transfusion or even hysterectomy (removal of the uterus)), and the need for urgent delivery of your baby who can be deprived of oxygen. The evidence tells us that in most cases, when an emergency caesarean section is performed, no serious harm comes to the mother or baby.. In some situations the risk of rupture is increased. ...

The overall percentage of transfused patients was low (2.4%) and it has become lower in the last four years (1.1%), in concomitance with the development of better knowledge of tissue oxygenation and with the fear of transmitting infectious diseases, factors which have led anesthesiologists to employ blood only when strictly required. Three conditions greatly increased the risk of bleeding: placenta previa, abruptio placentae and coagulation disorders. Previous cesarean section, fetal distress, dystocias and hypertensive disorders of pregnancy did not increase the risk of bleeding and no difference was found between elective and non-elective ...

Incidence of Incisional Hernia after Cesarean Delivery: A Register-Based Cohort StudyIncidence of Incisional Hernia after Cesarean Delivery: A Register-Based Cohort Study
Objective To estimate the incidence of incisional hernias requiring surgical repair after cesarean delivery over a 10-year period. Methods This population- and register-based cohort study identified all women in Denmark with no history of previous abdominal surgery who had a cesarean delivery between 1991 and 2000. The cohort was followed from their first until 10 years after their last cesarean delivery within the inclusion period or until the first of the following events: hernia repair, death, emigration, abdominal surgery, or cesarean delivery after the inclusion period. For women who had a hernia repair, hospital records regarding the surgery and previous cesarean deliveries were tracked and manually analyzed to validate the relationship between hernia repair and cesarean delivery. Data were analyzed with a competing risk analysis that included each cesarean delivery. Results We identified 57,564 women who had had 68,271 cesarean deliveries during the inclusion period.

Background-This study was designed to evaluate effect of adding 25 μg of fentanyl to 0.5% intrathecal bupivacaine for elective caesarean section. Methods- The study was conducted on 40 ASA I & II women posted for elective caesarean section. Patients were randomized into two groups and lumbar subarachnoid block performed with bupivacaine and fentanyl, or bupivacaine alone. The time of onset , upper level of block, duration of sensory and motor block, systolic blood pressure, heart rate and respiratory rate were recorded and analysed. Results- It was observed that fall in blood pressure and sedation showed significant differences between the groups. None of the other variables differed. Conclusion- Addition of fentanyl to bupivacaine resulted in faster onset of action and effective spinal anaesthesia with a lower dose of bupivacaine. The duration of block was similar in both groups. The most striking feature was the greater hemodynamic stability with the addition of fentanyl.. ...

Labor and Birth What to ExpectLabor and Birth What to Expect
Some women who have delivered previous babies by c-section would like to have their next baby vaginally. This is called vaginal delivery after c-section or VBAC. Women have various reasons for wanting a vaginal delivery after c-section. Some want to avoid the risks and long recovery of surgery while others want to experience a vaginal delivery.. Studies show that vaginal delivery after c-sections are more risky for the woman and baby than a repeat c-section. The most serious danger of vaginal delivery after c-sections is the chance that the c-section scar on the uterus will open up during labor and delivery, or uterine rupture. While very rare, uterine rupture is very dangerous for the mother and baby. Uterine rupture can lead to life-threatening bleeding for the mother and brain damage or even death for the baby.. The biggest and best study on vaginal delivery after c-section was published in the New England Journal of Medicine in 2004. The researchers studied more than 30,000 women who had had ...

Skin-to-skin contact soothes mother and newborn following Cesarean sectionSkin-to-skin contact soothes mother and newborn following Cesarean section
Last year, when Weldon began as chair of the obstetrician/gynecology department at PeaceHealth Southwest Medical Center - a role that rotates among physicians - she worked to promote quick skin-to-skin contact following C-section deliveries.. Once delivered, babies remain attached to the umbilical cord for one minute to allow more blood to get to the baby, then the surgeon dries the baby so a receiving nurse can put the infant on a mothers chest after the cord is cut, Weldon explained. The mother can hold her child as her incision is closed.. At PeaceHealth Southwest, representatives from labor and delivery nursing, neonatal nursing, anesthesia, midwifery and obstetrics/gynecology met to determine the changes theyd need to make in order to facilitate skin-to-skin contact following C-section births. They worked out how to move the baby without compromising the sterile surgical field and how to position monitors to ensure there was room between a womans head and chest for the baby to ...

C-sectionC-section
During my moms pregnancy with me, she was diagnosed with placenta previa, a condition in which the placenta lies very low in the uterus and covers all or part of the cervix. The cervix is the opening to the uterus that sits on the top of the vagina. If you have placenta previa, when your labor starts, your cervix begins to thin out and dilate (open up), and the blood vessels connecting the placenta to your uterus may tear. This can cause severe bleeding.. My mom remembers the day I was born, like it was yesterday. She remembers my Aunt running down the hall to get towels for her while she stood in the bathroom bleeding during her third trimester. She was rushed to the hospital and had an emergency Cesarean section (C-section) performed. My mom says she can still remember what the pressure felt like on her lower abdomen during the procedure..

Eisenmenger syndrome belongs to the 0.4-4.1% (incidence) rarely encountered congenital cardiac lesions in pregnancy. Management of a pregnant patient with Eisenmenger syndrome is a challenging task for the anesthesiologist. Here, we report the successful outcome with the use of low-dose sequential combined spinal-epidural (CSE) anesthesia in a patient with Eisenmenger syndrome posted for cesarean section. Low-dose sequential CSE anesthesia was adequate for the performance of cesarean section with minimal hemodynamic changes and good fetal outcome. Low-dose sequential CSE can be a safe alternative to achieve good anesthesia with hemodynamic stability in such case.

Do you have a right to choose caesarean section? - Pacific Medical LawDo you have a right to choose caesarean section? - Pacific Medical Law
One of the areas of medicine where this process of informed consent has historically been lacking is in obstetrics. In the past, women have often been told that they are not allowed to choose caesarean section unless it was, in the doctors opinion, medically necessary. This practice, however, is slowly changing. In July 2018, the Society of Gynecologists and Obstetricians of Canada (SOGC), the professional body that sets guidelines for practicing obstetricians, published a Committee Opinion making it clear that informed consent must be obtained for childbirth as well.. The first step required of the medical team (doctors, nurses, midwives) is to have a clear understanding of the risks and benefits of both planned caesarean section (for non-medical reasons) and of attempted vaginal delivery. The discussion of risks should include both common risks (like pain after delivery) and rarer, long term consequences (brain damage, death, complications in future pregnancies, etc.).. There are currently no ...

Published in J Clin Anesth. 2014 May;26(3):235-7. Authors: Samanta S et al. Abstract. Valvular heart disease in a parturient presenting for Cesarean section is challenging. A 25 year old primigravida parturient with severe mitral stenosis, mild mitral regurgitation, mild aortic regurgitation, and mild pulmonary arterial hypertension required Cesarean delivery after developing pulmonary edema.. Low-dose spinal with hyperbaric bupivacine 0.5% 1.8 mL plus 25 μg of fentanyl was used for anesthesia.. Chest ultrasonography (US) and transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) were used for monitoring purposes.. Spinal-induced preload reduction improved the pulmonary edema, as evidenced by chest US. Chest US and TTE helped in fluid management.. ...

Midwifery Ramblings: When a Womans Body Fails HerMidwifery Ramblings: When a Womans Body Fails Her
Within the past month, I have heard more than a handful of stories where planned vaginal births ended up in emergency cesareans, and mom was given a diagnosis of either FTP or CPD. More horrifying, I keep hearing of *ELECTIVE* cesarean surgery, to avoid the pain or possible injury of a vaginal birth, because a woman is led to believe that a VBAC is just too risky, or because she cannot find a care provider to support her in one. I continue to be utterly baffled by the mentality in our society, surrounding cesarean sections, ie, major abdominal surgery. The risks are pasted all over the internet, warning women about choosing such a dangerous mode of delivery, and yet...we have the highest cesarean rate that weve ever had as a country. Theres absolutely no excuse for a 31.1% ( and that was 2006, we dont know 2007s rates yet! ) cesarean rate. The WHO has recommended a national cesarean rate of NO MORE than 10-15%, which means that roughly 1/2-2/3 of *all* cesareans done are unnecessary ...

Cesarean Section - A Brief HistoryCesarean Section - A Brief History
While Barry applied Western surgical techniques, nineteenth-century travelers in Africa reported instances of indigenous people successfully carrying out the procedure with their own medical practices. In 1879, for example, one British traveller, R.W. Felkin, witnessed cesarean section performed by Ugandans. The healer used banana wine to semi-intoxicate the woman and to cleanse his hands and her abdomen prior to surgery. He used a midline incision and applied cautery to minimize hemorrhaging. He massaged the uterus to make it contract but did not suture it; the abdominal wound was pinned with iron needles and dressed with a paste prepared from roots. The patient recovered well, and Felkin concluded that this technique was well-developed and had clearly been employed for a long time. Similar reports come from Rwanda, where botanical preparations were also used to anesthetize the patient and promote wound healing. In Western society women for the most part were barred from carrying out cesarean sections
