Background: Child birth is a universally celebrated occasion, yet everyday for thousands of women child birth is experienced not as a joyful event as it should be, but as a private hell that may even end in death. The objective of this study is to determine the complications of normal delivery and cesarean section on the mothers and new born.Methods: A descriptive study was conducted in two selected hospitals of Rupandehi district, Nepal. Data was collected as per pretested structured proforma from 550 respondents who were the mothers and new born delivered normally and through cesarean section randomly till the completion of sample size and analyzed by using SPSS, MANOVA and Chi-square test to determine associations between categorical variables.Results: In a total of 550 deliveries,25.8% were cesarean delivery, 42.7% motherssuffered from delivery related complications, common were PPH (21.1%), prolonged labour (8.5%) and wound infection (7.6%). 35.5% of newborn had complications, common were respiratory distress (6.3%) and neonatal jaundice (4.2%).Conclusions: Delivery related complications were higher among Lower segment cesarean section compared to vaginal delivery in mothers and newborn.Keywords: Cesarean section; child birth; maternal complication; new born; vaginal delivery.

  Introduction: According to the WHO, 15% of deliveries have precise indication for cesarean section where it is mandatory for the preservation of maternal and/or fetal health. Increasing rates of Lower Segment Caesarean Sections puts foreword various question that, whether a LSCS need to be reflected as a normal delivery in this twenty first century. There are conflicting reports regarding the safety of caesarean sections. While a significant number of cesarean delivery are performed for obstetrical indications, some are simply due to maternal request and may incur several risks for the child. Not much study has compared the complications of caesarean section with those of vaginal birth. Objective of this study is to find out and compare the common complications of cesarean section with vaginal deliveries on mothers. Methods: A descriptive study was conducted in two selected hospitals of Rupandehi district, Nepal. Data was collected as per pretested structured proforma from 550 respondents randomly and analyzed by using SPSS, MANOVA and Chi-square test to determine associations between categorical variables. Results: In total of 550 mothers, 408 (74.2%) had vaginal delivery and 142 (25.8%) had cesarean delivery.The common maternal complications were postpartum hemorrhage 116 (21.1%), prolonged labor 47 (8.5%) and wound infection 42 (7.6%). Conclusions: The result of the study shows that the maternal complications were higher among LSCS compared to vaginal delivery.

Objectives: To compare the efficacy of low-dose prophylactic use of ketamine with ketamine plus midazolam for theprevention of shivering caused by spinal anesthesia, during lower segment cesarean section. Main Outcome Measures: Heamodynamicmonitoring, avoidance of lactic acidosis/ increased carbon dioxide production and patient satisfaction. Design: Prospective RandomizedControlled trial. Place: Department of Anesthesia and ICU PNS Shifa Karachi. Duration of study: March 2010 to June 2010. Patients andMethods: 100 ASA-I & II consecutive patients who reported for LSCS in PNS Shifa Hospital were studied. In this double-blind study,patients were randomly allocated to receive ketamine alone (Group I, n= 50), and ketamine plus midazolam (Group II, n = 50). Afterstandardized Spinal anesthesia, a shivering was recorded at 5 min intervals for 15 minutes. Results: Shivering was observed in 9/50(18%) patients of group I (Ketamine only) as compared to only 2/50 (4%) patients in Group II (ketamine + midazolam) (p=0.025) whichis statically significant. The two groups were comparable regarding distribution of age (p=0.37), BMI (p=0.27) and duration of surgery.Results were analyzed by using chi square test. Conclusions: The efficacy of i.v. ketamine plus midazolam is better as compared to lowdosei.v. ketamine alone in preventing shivering in lower segment Cesarean Section patients, during spinal anesthesia.

Objectives. This study aims to analyze the cesarean section (CS) rates and vaginal delivery rates in tertiary hospitals of China, explore the costs of two different deliveries, and examine the relative influencing factors of the costs in both CS and vaginal deliveries. Methods. 30,168 anonymized obstetric medical cases were selected from three sample tertiary hospitals in Chongqing Municipality from 2011 to 2013. Chi-square test was used to compare the distributions of CS and vaginal deliveries under different indicators. Mann–Whitney test and Kruskal-Wallis test were adopted to analyze the differences under different items. Multiple linear regression was used to determine the influencing factors of the costs of different delivery modes. Results. (1) The rates of CS were 69%, 65.5%, and 59.2% in the three sample tertiary hospitals in Chongqing from 2011 to 2013. (2) The costs and the length of stay of CS were greater than those of vaginal delivery, which had significant differences (P<0.005). (3) The areas, length of stay, age, medical insurance, and modes of delivery were the influencing factors of both CS and vaginal delivery costs. Discussion. The high CS rates in China must be paid significant attention. The indicators of two modes of delivery should be regulated strictly. CS rate reduction and saving medical resources will be the benefits if vaginal delivery is chosen by pregnant women.

Background: Urinary retention after vaginal delivery is a common problem with incidence 1.7% - 17.9%. Assissted vaginal delivery is one risk factor for the occurence of urinary retention.Objective: to compare urinary retention between normal vaginal delivery and assissted vaginal delivery using extraction vacum, and evaluate factors related to urinary retention.Method: The study was prospective cohort design, conducted in 3 hospitals and 2 primary health centres during 6 month period since September 2013- February 2014. Subjects were divided into two groups i.e. normal delivery and assissted delivery using extraction vacum, each 118 subjects. Events of urinary retention was assessed and also related factors were identified. Analysis used Chi-Square test, Fisher test and also logistic regression analysis.Result and Discussion: In total 236 subjects were involved, there was no difference in age and parity among the subjects. Incidence of urinary retention among extraction vacum delivery group was higher (32.2%) compare to normal delivery (11.9%). Multivariate analysis using logistic regression showed that extraction vacum (p=0.074; OR 2.71; 95% CI 1.55-4.73), baby weight (p= 0.230; OR 1.95; 95% CI 0.655.84) and perineal injury (p= 0.614; OR 1.35; 95% CI 0.41-4.36) were not significant risk factors for urinary retention. Length of labour (p=0.003; OR 3.71; 95% CI 1.55-8.86) and parity (p= 0.023; OR 2.29; 95% CI 1.2-4.66) were significant risk factors for urinary retention.Conclusion: Urinary retention is higher among vaginal delivery with extraction vacum compare to normal delivery. Length of labour and parity are external factors related to urinary retention. Keywords: Assissted vaginal delivery, extraction vacum, normal delivery, urinary retention, postpartum

Objective: this quantitative descriptive study aimed to evaluate the presence of deleterious oral habits and associated factors in children attending the Amadeu Barros Leal day care in Fortaleza, CE, Brazil. Material and Methods: the sample consisted of 75 children (51% of girls) aged 0 to 5 years. Data were collected through the application of a structured questionnaire to the parents or guardians and analyzed statistically with Fisher’s exact or Chi-square test, considering a 95% confidence interval. The results were expressed as absolute frequency and percentage. Results: 89% of the children participating in the study were breastfed, and 43.5% of them were breastfed at least until the first year of age. As much as 19% of the children slept with their mouths open and 39% used a pacifier, 56.7% of which used it constantly during the day and at night. About 91% of children used a feeding bottle, and most of bottles (79%) did not have an orthodontic nipple. In addition, 60% of children aged 24-36 months had the deleterious habit of grinding their teeth. Conclusion: in the present study, we investigated children from 0 to 5 years old and observed that this age group is predisposed to deleterious oral habits. In this way, more studies that trace a safe epidemiological profile aiming to reduce these harmful habits are extremely necessary.
