Delaying cesarean sections, particularly emergency procedures, for over two hours significantly increases newborn health problems. Timely surgical intervention is crucial for better neonatal outcomes in obstetric emergencies.

Area of Science:

  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Neonatal Health
  • Surgical Outcomes

Background:

  • Cesarean section is a common obstetric procedure.
  • Emergency cesareans account for a significant proportion of surgeries.
  • Neonatal outcomes are influenced by various surgical factors.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the impact of waiting time on neonatal morbidity after cesarean section.
  • To identify key indications for emergency cesarean delivery.
  • To analyze the relationship between delay in surgery and adverse neonatal outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 121 consecutive cesarean sections.
  • Inclusion criteria: single term, appropriate for gestational age neonates.
  • Data collection on indications, waiting periods, and neonatal complications.

Main Results:

  • Over 50% of neonates experienced health issues.
  • Fetal distress, labor progression issues, and cephalopelvic disproportion were primary indications.
  • A significant increase in neonatal morbidity was observed with delays exceeding two hours.

Conclusions:

  • Timeliness of cesarean section is critical for neonatal well-being.
  • Delays in emergency cesarean delivery are associated with increased neonatal morbidity.
  • Optimizing surgical timing can improve outcomes for neonates undergoing cesarean section.
