Aims: To demonstrate the correlation of cardiotocography with intraoperative findings and neonatal outcome undergoing emergency cesarean section for non-reassuring fetal status. Methods: It is a hospital based cross sectional study at maternity ward of Shree Birendra Hospital in Kathmandu with non-reassuring CTG who underwent cesarean section in a period of one year. Their CTG were correlated with their intraoperative findings and neonatal outcome such as meconium stained liquor, nuchal cord, Apgar score at birth, NICU admission, perinatal mortality and stillbirth. Results: Fifty four patients were recruited. Most common operative finding was meconium stained liquor (35.2%); and cardiotocographic abnormality was variable Deceleration (37%). Variable deceleration and late deceleration had significant correlation with meconium stain liquor and nuchal cord. Apgar score ≤ 7 at 5 minute was 7.4%. NICU admission was 13% with common abnormality as late Deceleration. Conclusion: CTG pattern of variable and late deceleration had correlated with the meconium stained liquor and nuchal cord only. There was no relation with neonatal outcome in terms of Apgar score and admission rate.

Introduction: Fetal distress is a high risk obstetric situation associated with increased perinatal morbidity and mortality. It is also a major contributor to operative interventions in the majority hospitals of developing countries. The objective of this study was to observe clinically diagnosed fetal distress and early neonatal outcome after delivery. Materials and Methods: This hospital based cross-sectional study was carried out in Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Bashundhara Addin Medical College Hospital, Keraniganj during the period of January to December 2019. 212 women in active phase of labor at term pregnancy who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were enrolled. Fetal distress was diagnosed by abnormal FHR and /or presence of meconium in amniotic fluid after rupture of membrane. Neonatal outcome was assesss by 1st & 5th mins Apgar Scores after delivery, babies requiring immediate resuscitation and admission to neonatal care unit & recorded. Result: Among fetal distress 11.32% babies had Apgar score <7 as compared to babies without fetal distress that had 5.66% apgar score <7 at 5th minutes(p<0.05). 28.3% fetal distressed born babies required NICU admission rather than only 9.44% of without fetal distress. Conclusion: This study shows relative adverse neonatal outcome for fetal distressed babies than without distress. Medicine Today 2021 Vol.33(2): 152-155

Background: Maternal mental status has been thought to be affected by the delivery modes. We examined the relation between delivery modes and the mental status of women who delivered at our institute in Japan. Methods: Data were collected from the medical charts of 643 primiparous women without a history of mental disorders who delivered singleton babies and underwent a 1-month postpartum check-up at our institute from September 2018 to June 2019. The maternal mental status was examined based on the scores of the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) and the Mother-Infant Bonding Scale (MIBS). Results: The rate of high scores of the EPDS and the MIBS in women choosing elective cesarean section were higher than in women with vaginal delivery and emergency cesarean section. Conclusion: Mental health care may be necessary for women choosing elective cesarean section.

ABSTRACT Aims To establish the incidence of nuchal cord at the time of delivery and to assess its impact on the intrapartum and perinatal outcome. Materials and methods This was a cross-sectional study conducted at KLES Dr Prabhakar Kore Hospital and Medical Research Centre, Belgaum, India, from January 2011 to March 2011. A sample size of 429 was calculated. Informed consent was obtained and eligible women were enrolled. The babies born with a cord around the neck were compared to those without. The particulars noted were age, BMI, parity, loops of cord around the neck (single or multiple), type of loop, mode of delivery, weight of the baby and Apgar score at birth and 5 minutes. The parameters were then compared and statistically analyzed using Chi-square test. Results Incidence of nuchal cord at the time of delivery was 13.75%, of which single nuchal cord was highest (76.66%). The study revealed that age, BMI (in kg/m2), parity, gestational age and birth weight were not statistically significant to the presence of nuchal cord. Though instrumental deliveries were more in babies with nuchal cord, it was not statistically significant (p = 0.932). Apgar score < 7 at 1 minute was significantly low in nuchal cord group and Apgar score at 5 minutes and admission to neonatal unit was equivalent to those babies born without nuchal cord (p = 0.947). Conclusion Nuchal cord is not associated with adverse perinatal outcome. How to cite this article Shereen K, Patil K, Swamy MK. Nuchal Cord and Perinatal Outcome.

AbstrakPada masa sekarang ini telah terjadi perubahan tren dalam persalinan, yaitu berupa peningkatan angka seksio sesarea. Peningkatan ini dipengaruhi berbagai faktor seperti: adanya kekhawatiran akan terjadinya cedera janin, peningkatan permintaan ibu untuk melakukan persalinan seksio sesarea, serta faktor sosioekonomi. Beberapa penelitian justru menunjukkan seksio sesarea dapat menimbulkan morbiditas pada bayi. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah membandingkan kondisi bayi antara persalinan normal dan seksio sesarea elektif dilihat dari nilai Apgar Penelitian dilaksanakan dari Mei 2014 sampai Januari 2014 di bagian rekam medis RSUP Dr. M. Djamil Padang.. Jenis penelitian yang digunakan adalah analitik dengan desain cross-sectional study. Sampel dalam penelitian ini terdiri dari 179  pasien dengan persalinan normal dan 56 pasien dengan seksio sesarea. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pada menit pertama nilai Apgar 4-6 adalah 3,4% pada persalinan normal. Nilai Apgar 7-10 sebanyak 96,6% pada persalinan normal dan 100% pada seksio sesarea pada menit pertama. Pada menit kelima, nilai Apgar 4-6 adalah 1,1% pada persalinan normal, sedangkan nilai Apgar 7-10 sebanyak 98,9% pada persalinan normal dan 100% pada seksio sesarea pada menit kelima. Setelah dilakukan analisis dengan mann-whitney test didapatkan bahwa tidak terdapat perbedaan nilai Apgar pada menit-1 (p=0,777) dan menit-5 (p=0,887) antara persalinan normal dengan seksio sesarea.Kata kunci: persalinan normal, seksio sesarea elektif, nilai Apgar AbstractIn recent years, cesarean section have increased. Several factor are contributing, such as fears of injury to the fetus, increased women's request to do a cesarean section deliveries and socioeconomic factors. Some studies have also shown that cesarean section can lead to morbidity in infants. The objective of this study was to compare between Apgar scores of infant born by elective cesarean section and normal vaginal deliveries. The research was done from May 2013 to January 2014 at the medical records department of general hospital center Dr. M. Djamil Padang. This was an analytic study with cross-sectional study design. This study used 179 samples with normal vaginal delivery and 56 samples with cesarean section. The result showed that 1st minute Apgar score of 4-6 in normal vaginal delivery was 3.4%, and Apgar score 7-10 was 96.6% in normal vaginal delivery while in cesarean section was 100%. The 5th minute Apgar score of  4-6 in normal vaginal delivery was 1.1%, and Apgar score 7-10 was 98.9% in normal vaginal delivery while in cesarean section was 100%. After being analyzed using Mann-Whitney test, the study showed that there was no significant different in Apgar score of neonates born through normal vaginal delivery and neonates born trough cesarean section at first minute (p=0.777) and fifth minute (p=0.887).Keywords: normal vaginal delivery, elective cesarean section, Apgar score

Abstract Background Emergency cesarean section is a commonly performed surgical procedure in pregnant women with life-threatening conditions of the mother and/or fetus. According to the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, decision to delivery interval for emergency cesarean sections should be within 30 min. It is an indicator of quality of care in maternity service, and if prolonged, it constitutes a third-degree delay. This study aimed to assess the decision to delivery interval and associated factors for emergency cesarean section in Bahir Dar City Public Hospitals, Ethiopia. Method An institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted at Bahir Dar City Public Hospitals from February to May 2020. Study participants were selected using a systematic random sampling technique. A combination of observations and interviews was used to collect the data. Data entry and analysis were performed using Epi-data version 3.1 and SPSS version 25, respectively. Statistical significance was set at p < 0.05. Result Decision-to-delivery interval below 30 min was observed in 20.3% [95% CI = 15.90–24.70%] of emergency cesarean section. The results showed that referral status [AOR = 2.5, 95% CI = 1.26–5.00], time of day of emergency cesarean section [AOR = 2.5, 95%CI = 1.26–4.92], status of surgeons [AOR = 2.95, 95%CI = 1.30–6.70], type of anesthesia [AOR = 4, 95% CI = 1.60–10.00] and transfer time [AOR = 5.26, 95% CI = 2.65–10.46] were factors significantly associated with the decision to delivery interval. Conclusion Decision-to-delivery intervals were not achieved within the recommended time interval. Therefore, to address institutional delays in emergency cesarean section, providers and facilities should be better prepared in advance and ready for rapid emergency action.

ABSTRACT Aim To assess the indications of emergency vs elective cesarean section in patients at Holy Family Hospital, Rawalpindi. Materials and methods A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted on 675 women who underwent cesarean section in the Gynecology and Obstetrics Department of the Holy Family Hospital, Rawalpindi, Pakistan over a period of 2 months. Sociodemographic features, type of cesarean, and their indications were recorded on a structured questionnaire. Data were analyzed by using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 23. Results A total of 675 women underwent cesarean section during the study period. The emergency cesarean section rate was 70.4%, while elective cesarean constituted of 29.6% cases. The most common indications for emergency cesarean were fetal distress (43.2%) followed by previous cesarean (19.2%) and failure to progress (9.3%), while that for elective cesarean were previous cesarean (41%) and malpresentation (24.5%). Conclusion Fetal distress and previous scar are the leading causes of cesarean section in our study. The improvement of maternal and child health facilities at basic health units, appropriate training of lady health workers and midwives, timely involvement of senior obstetrician, and formation of strict policies regarding cesarean section can have a profound effect in decreasing the rate of cesarean section. Clinical significance This study can prove to be of profound value in getting an insight into the continuously increasing rate of cesarean section. In developing countries like Pakistan, these increasing cesarean deliveries prove to be a burden on the already-constrained resources.

Aims: To evaluate the maternal and perinatal outcome in adolescent pregnancy,Method: This was a cross-sectional study conducted in Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Manipal Teaching Hospital, Pokhara from October 2017 to March 2018 for duration of 6 months.Results: There were total 82 cases of teenage pregnancy in the study duration with incidence of  6% among total deliveries. Majority of cases were of age 19 and were primigravida. Fifty five percent of the cases had normal vaginal delivery and cesarean section accounted for 39% of cases. The major indication for cesarean section was meconium stained liquor (52%) followed by oligohydraminos (15%) and cephalopelvic disproportion (11%). The maternal complication accounted for 59% of total cases. Among them, anaemia was highly prevalent comprising 11% of cases followed by PPROM (9.8%) and hypertensive disorders in pregnancy (8.5%). In perinatal outcome, the incidence of preterm birth was 15.9% and low birth weight was 13.4%. The rate of NICU admission was 2.4% and there was one case of still birth.Conclusion: The study showed that teenage pregnancy is at increased risk of adverse maternal and perinatal outcome. So if we lay an effort for reducing the incidence of teenage pregnancy, we can bring in positive changes in the indicators of maternal and perinatal morbidities.
