Aim: To determine the efficacy of antenatal corticosteroid in the prevention of respiratory distress syndrome of the neonates in women undergoing elective cesarean section at term pregnancy. Study design: Descriptive case series Place and duration of study: Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Lady Reading Hospital, Peshawar from 6th December 2018 to 6th May 2019. Methodology: One hundred and seventy five women were enrolled. The women after taking complete history with obstetrical examination and antenatal corticosteroid administration i.e. 12 mg dexamethasone IM (two doses 12 hours apart) were observed. The caesarean section was performed by experienced obstetrician having minimum of five years of experience after 24 hours and within seven days of the second dose of dexamethasone. All the neonates were carefully examined in NICU for the detection of respiratory distress syndrome. All these observations were done under supervision of an expert pediatrician having minimum of five years of experience. Results: The mean age was 28±11.34 years. Thirty five percent patients had POG range 37+ weeks while 65% patients had POG range 38+ weeks. Mean POG was 37±1.12 weeks. More over antenatal corticosteroid was effective in 97% patients and was not effective in 3% patients. Conclusion: The antenatal corticosteroid was 97% effective in the prevention of respiratory distress syndrome of the neonates, in women undergoing ELSC at term after elective caesarean section for term pregnancy.

Background: Time to perform elective LSCS is a relevant issue related to mother and foetus. LSCS can be done from 37 weeks onwards because foetal lungs mature by then. But foetuses born at 37 weeks of gestation have more risk of developing respiratory problems, transient tachypnoea of new born, hypothermia, hypoglycaemia and NICU admission.The purpose of this study is to find out appropriate gestational age at which elective LSCS can be performed without adverse maternal and neonatal outcome.Methods: This is an observational comparative study done on 209 antenatal women who underwent elective caesarean section from December 2014 to January 2016.Patients were divided into two groups after taking consent. Maternal parameters like formation of lower uterine segment need for blood transfusion. Neonatal parameters like Apgar score, respiratory distress syndrome and NICU admission with indication and duration were analyzed by chi-square test. Gestational Age and Pre-Op Hb and Post-Op Hb were analyzed by independent ‘t’test.Results: In this study 55% of the pregnant women belong to 38 weeks,45% belongs to 39 weeks. The formation of lower uterine segment was statistically significant and the need for blood transfusion was slightly increased at 39 weeks. But there was no significant difference in Apgar score, Respiratory distress, NICU admission comparing both study groups.Conclusions: Elective caesarean section can be done safely at 38 weeks without affecting maternal and perinatal outcome.

The incidence of respiratory disorders and their risk factors in 349 full-term newborns, extracted by planned cesarean section at various stages of pregnancy. It was found that respiratory disorders (transient tachypnea) observed in 16.5 % of newborns, gestational age of 37 weeks, 4.6% - 38 weeks and 1.6% - ≥39 weeks. The risk of respiratory disorders in children whose mothers have a combination of chronic functional systems (gastrointestinal tract, cardiovascular system, respiratory system) and pregnancy complication preeclampsia mild.

Background: The decision for optimal time for elective caesarean section (ECS) should be taken considering the minimum risk to the newborn as well as to the mother. This prospective observational study aimed to investigate the effect of gestation of ECS, on neonatal and maternal outcomes.Methods: All the pregnant term mothers admitted to our hospital for ECS and fulfilling the inclusion criteria were enrolled and divided into 2 groups, early term and full term. Patients having high-risk factors like intrauterine growth restriction, amniotic fluid disorders, multiple pregnancies, placenta previa, abruption placenta and medical co-morbidities were excluded. Early neonatal and maternal outcomes were compared between the 2 groups.Results: 244 mothers were eligible for ECS, 183 (75%) women underwent ECS in the early term and 61 (25%) at full term as per the decision of obstetricians of various units. The incidence of neonatal respiratory morbidity (NRM) was 2 percent in our study. Out of 244 newborns, 4 developed NRM in the form of delayed adaption in 3 and respiratory distress in 1. The incidence of respiratory distress was comparable in both groups. The incidence of NNJ, MSL and sepsis was higher in the early term but it was not significant statistically. Maternal outcomes like postpartum haemorrhage, the need for blood transfusion, bladder injury, thin scar, adhesions poorly formed LUS were observed in the early term but the difference was not significant.Conclusions: More research needs to be done for optimization of timing of ECS.
