Journal Title: MedPulse -International Medical Journal - Year 2014, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
Abstract: Introduction: The reasons for increased incidence of cesarean section in primiparous patients are obvious. Firstly, increased safety of this operation has widened the indications both maternal and fetal. Secondly, in the past, cesarean section used to be a last resort for delivery while now it is a method of choice over any unpredictable and unavoidable traumatic vaginal delivery. Also the increasing advances in assessing fetal maturity and fetal well being have improved the ability to use cesarean section in a more efficient manner. Thus the present study was undertaken to see the immediate outcome of cesarean section such as birth weight, APGAR score, post section hemoglobin status. Aims and objectives: ¬To find out an immediate outcome of cesarean section in primiparous patients. Material and Methods: The present study was conducted at ACPM Medical College, Dhule. All the primiparous women attending the institute for the delivery and undergone cesarean section were enrolled in the study. Immediate outcome of cesarean section were recovered. Birth weight, APGAR score at 1 minute and 5 minute were recorded. Hemoglobin status at the time of admission and discharge was also recorded. Results: Incidence of cesarean section in primiparous women was 24.9%. Most common age group was young between 15 to 25 years. It was observed that 101 (39.60%) babies were weighing between 2500 to 3000 grams. There were a large majority of 170 (66.68%) babies with APGAR score more than 7 at 1 minute and 212 (83.15%) babies at 5 minutes. was observed that post cesarean section hemoglobin status was improved
