AbstractObjectivesTo report clinical data on maternal outcome, mode of delivery and immediate neonatal outcome in women infected with COVID-19.MethodsRetrospective data collection.ResultsA total of 8.6% of the total population of hospitalised SARS-CoV-2 positive pregnant women were admitted to a critical care unit. The premature birth rate for births before 34+0 weeks of gestation among pregnant women who tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 was 7.1%. One newborn (3.6%) tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 two days after birth and showed symptoms.ConclusionsPregnant women with COVID-19 seem to be at higher risk of invasive ventilation, admission to a critical care unit and preterm birth, and should therefore be considered a high-risk-population.

Increased Risk

Introduction: Compared with a fetus with cephalic presentation, a breech fetus faces increased risk during labour and delivery of asphyxia from cord compression and of traumatic injury during delivery of the shoulders and head. Caesarean section avoids most of this risk. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of vaginal delivery of uncomplicated singleton breech presentation by evaluating early neonatal morbidity and mortality as well as maternal morbidity following vaginal and caesarean delivery for breech presentation. Materials and Methods: This is a cross sectional comparative study.104 women with singleton breech presentation at term in labour were included consequetively in labour ward of Institute of Child and Mother Health (ICMH). Informed consent was taken from them. Neonatal and maternal outcome were recorded and statistical analysis was done using SPSS version 22. Results: APGAR at 5 min and Neonatal Intensive Care Unite (NICU) admission were not affected by mode of delivery. Long term neonatal outcome is similar in either mode of delivery. Maternal morbidity and duration of hospital stay is increased in caesarean births. Conclusion: Neonatal outcome did not depend on mode of delivery though maternal morbidity and cost of care is increased following Caesarean Section. Proper selection of cases and by improving skill & confidence in new generation obstetrician, vaginal delivery of singleton fetuses in breech presentation at term remains a safe option that can be offered to a woman in a tertiary care centre.

The Mean

Background: Induced or spontaneous labour has implication on the eventual mode of delivery and neonatal outcome. The aim of study is to compare the progress and outcome of induced versus spontaneous labour among nulliparous women using the modified WHO partograph.Methods: Comparative study involving nulliparous women in active phase of labour with the cervix at least 4cm dilated. Those whose labours were induced were compared with those on spontaneous labour; both labouring women were monitored using modified WHO partograph. Outcome measures include the mean duration of labour, the eventual mode of delivery and the Maternofetal outcome. Data were managed using SPSS software. Chi-square t-test and student t-test were used in data analysis. Level of significance was placed at P<0.05.Results: 115 women were compared in each group. There was no difference in mean age group, gestational age at delivery, cervical dilatation on admission, and the level of head of fifth palpable on admission. More women had spontaneous vaginal delivery among those in spontaneous labour (72.1% versus 64.7%) P=0.0001. There were less caesarean section among those in spontaneous labour. The mean Apgar scores were significantly better among induced labour babies (P=0.0001).Conclusions: Induced labour may increase the chances of caesarean section, it does not adversely affect the neonatal outcome. Therefore, it is advised induced labour can be a safe procedure among nulliparous women if labour is partographically monitored.

Successful Induction

Induction of labour after the period of viability by any methods medical, surgical or combined, for the purpose of vaginal delivery. The success of induction, to a great extent, depend upon pre-induction cervical status i.e. cervical ripening. So, ripening of cervix prior to induction i.e. pre-induction cervical ripening is one of the important steps for successful induction of labour. There are different methods for cervical ripening like prostaglandins (PGE). However, use of prostaglandins (PGE) and oxytocin as labour inducing agent has its own adverse effects on maternal and perinatal outcome. So, constant efforts are made for the less use of uterotonins. The present review aims to study the efficacy of oral Mifepristone for improvement in Bishop’s score, requirement of additional uterotonics, induction delivery interval, mode of delivery and neonatal outcome. Electronic databases were searched by using keywords ‘Mifepristone, RU486, PGE2 gel, Cervical ripening, Bishop’s score and Induction of labour’ and eleven articles were found from 2009 to 2018 which fulfils our study criteria and thus they were taken for review. Based on all the studies, Mifepristone appears to be effective cervical ripening in comparison to other agents with significant improvement in Bishop’s score, higher vaginal delivery rate, shorter induction delivery interval and good neonatal outcome.
