Retrospective Study on the Decision to Delivery Interval
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 1
Abstract
The decision-to-delivery interval (DDI) is defined as the interval in minutes from the date and time of decision to carry out Caesarean section to the date and time of delivery of the baby. It is not synonymous with decision-to-incision time where the goal of the birth of a baby is yet to be achieved. A decision-to-delivery interval of 30 minutes for emergency Caesarean section has been widely recommended, but there is little evidence to support it. Inability to meet this target has been the basis for medico-legal suits.The ‘30 minute rule’ for a DDI takes its origin from the Guidelines to perinatal care jointly developed by the American Academy of Paediatrics and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists. Our objective in this study was to find out the time between decision-delivery interval and perinatal outcome of emergency caesarean section at a tertiary care institution in Sri Ramachandra university, Chennai.
