Changing trends in Cesarean delivery
Journal Title: International Archives of Integrated Medicine - Year 2015, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
The study conducted in retrospective manner in 150 bedded Government Victoria Hospital; a Maternity Hospital affiliated to Andhra Medical College, Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh. The rates and indications of primary and repeat Cesarean sections (CS) were analyzed among 8121 live births during the year 2014 and present Cesarean section rate was compared with 2004 and 2009 Cesarean rates. In our study, the Cesarean section rate was 25.66%. There is an increase in the CS rate over last decade from 16.14% in 2004, 20.33% in 2009 to 25.66% in 2014. The main contribution to this rise in CS is due to increase in numbers of repeat sections. CS becomes increasingly the procedure of choice in high risk pregnancies to prevent perinatal morbidity and mortality. This has become possible due to improved patient care, availability of effective antibiotics, blood transfusion services, safer anesthesia, improved surgical technique and sophisticated neonatal care services.
