Clinical indications associated with primary cesarean birth
Nursing for Women'S Health
|June 19, 2014
Summary
Cesarean birth rates are high in the US, with one in three births being a cesarean. Understanding clinical indications for primary cesarean births can help develop prevention strategies.
Area of Science:
- Obstetrics and Gynecology
- Public Health
Background:
- Cesarean birth is the most common surgical procedure in the United States.
- Cesarean birth is associated with increased morbidity and mortality compared to vaginal birth.
- Approximately one in three births in the US are cesarean deliveries.
Purpose of the Study:
- To re-evaluate clinical indications associated with primary cesarean birth rates.
- To inform prevention strategies for cesarean delivery.
Main Methods:
- Review of two recent studies evaluating clinical indications for primary cesarean births.
Main Results:
- Analysis of clinical indications contributing to primary cesarean birth rates.
- Identification of factors influencing the high prevalence of cesarean deliveries.
Conclusions:
- A deeper understanding of clinical indications is crucial for developing effective prevention strategies.
- Further research into primary cesarean birth rates can help reduce associated risks.

01:29Local Anesthetics: Clinical Application as Epidural Anesthesia
1.0K
Epidural anesthetics are administered in the fat-filled epidural space, the outermost part of the spinal canal. This technique is commonly employed for pain management and anesthesia during lower abdomen and pelvis surgeries or labor and delivery.
Since epidural anesthetics can be infused through an epidural catheter, all types of drugs, including short-acting ones, can be administered. Chloroprocaine and lidocaine are examples of short and long-duration anesthetics, respectively. Bupivacaine...

01:28Development of the Oral Microbiota
62
The establishment of the oral microbiome begins before birth, challenging the long-held belief that the fetal oral cavity is sterile. The presence of oral microbes such as Streptococcus and Fusobacterium in amniotic fluid suggests that microbial exposure may occur in utero, potentially through translocation from the maternal oral or gastrointestinal tract. This early colonization primes the neonatal immune system and sets the stage for subsequent microbial succession. Maternal health,...

01:28Esophageal Perforation-II: Clinical Manifestations and Management
1.1K
Esophageal perforations manifest in various clinical forms, influenced by factors such as the perforation's cause and location (cervical, intrathoracic, or intra-abdominal), the extent of contamination, and potential injury to adjacent mediastinal structures. The timing between the perforation occurrence and treatment initiation also affects the clinical presentation.
