Aim. To analyze the maternal and perinatal outcomes in repeated caesarean section. The first group included 50 laboring women who received combined endotracheal anesthesia for a repeat cesarean section. The second group included 50 laboring women who received spinal anesthesia during the operative delivery. The condition of 100 newborns born by repeated cesarean section was studied.Results. In postpartum period in the women of first group very often, develop endometritis (24%), in second group – 36%, hematometra in first group we see in 12%, in second – 26%. Tracheobronhitis occur in first group among 30%. Research of the condition and course of early neonatal period in newborns showed, that combined anesthesia initiates pathological course of this period. The main complications were asphyxia (28%), and neurological disorders (22%).Conclusions. Different types of analgesia initiate different types of complications in the postoperative period, but better neonatal outcomes with the use of regional anesthesia techniques qualify them as the anesthesia method of choice for repeat cesarean section.

Over the last twenty years, a sharp perinatal birth rate has registered high perinatal morbidity and mortality in the country. Despite the fact that the number of cesarean sections is constantly increasing, the perinatal mortality rate in the country remains positive and in 2017 was 7.9%%. The purpose of the study was a comparative analysis of the features of the course of the early neonatal period and the frequency of neonatal complications in classical cesarean section according to M. Stark and according to a modified method for improving perinatal outcomes. The selection of patients for the comparative study was performed by type of surgery (classic M. Stark technique or modified technique), which was conducted at the clinical basis of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology №1 ONMedU for the period from 2015 to 2018 according to a randomized principle in the obstetric department of the Kherson Regional Clinical Hospital (clinical base of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology No. 1 ONMedU). The formation of clinical groups was carried out according to retrospective data from 205 birth histories, the delivery of which was carried out by caesarean section. Statistical processing of the results was carried out using application R of the Microsoft Exel 2003 program. Analysis of quantitative indicators was analyzed using the arithmetic mean value (M) and the error in determining the average value (± m). Qualitative indicators were measured in absolute and relative (percentage) values. The significance of differences in the parametric characteristics in the appropriate groups was evaluated using Student's t test (t - test) and analysis of variance (ANOVA). In the calculations, the differences were considered statistically significant at p <0.05 (95% confidence level (CI) and at p <0.01 (99% confidence level). By using modified access to the abdominal cavity, which involved grasping the peritoneum with the index finger and stretching all layers of the anterior wall in a blunt fashion by two surgeons at the same time, it was almost twice possible to reduce the time to fetal extraction in the main study group (p˂0.001). The condition of newborns on the Apgar scale at 1 and 5 minutes of life in the first clinical group of the study was better (p=0.005). Due to the modified features of fetal extraction, it was possible to reduce the incidence of HID CNS in newborns (p=0.022), to 6 times reduce the need for treatment at the III level (p=0.004). The indicator of early neonatal mortality in the newborns of the first clinical group was zero, whereas in the comparison group 2 cases were recorded. However, the difference is not significant (p=0.223). Thus, the modified Caesarean section improves the overall condition of the newborns according to the Apgar scale at 1 and 5 minutes of life, is accompanied by a decrease in the frequency of some complications in the early neonatal period, creates a certain additional reserve for the improvement of perinatal complications and requires further comprehensive studies.

Background: The incidence of cesarean section is steadily rising. Cesarean delivery has played a major role in lowering both maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality rates.  There are various factors involved in the rise of rate of cesarean section like rising incidence of primary cesarean delivery, identification of high-risk pregnancy, wider use of repeat cesarean section, rising rates of induction of labor and failure of induction, no reassuring fetal status etc.Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted. Data was collected from patient records of the hospital during 1st January 2018 to 30th June 2018. All patients (N= 602) who had delivered their baby by caesarean section were included in the study. Data were analyzed by help of SPSS version 21 after proper compilation.Results: Among all women who underwent cesarean section, majority were age group between 21 and 30 years (67.1%). Repeat cesarean section (48.5%), followed by fetal distress (18.9%), oligohydramnias (6.6%) and cephalopelvic disproportion (6.5%) were most common among all major indication of cesarean section. Intrapartum complication (2.0%) includes postpartum hemorrhage (1.2%), CS hysterectomy (0.5%), bladder injury (0.3%) and postpartum complication (2.3%) including UTI (0.8), wound infection (0.5%), sepsis (0.5%), lactation failure (0.5%) were major maternal complication of cesarean section.Conclusions: Reduction of number of primary cesarean section, successful VBAC, individualization of the indication and careful evaluation, following standardized guidelines can help to keep rate of cesarean section to the possible minimum level.

Background: Caesarean section is often applied as a preventif efoort against the continued effects of perinatal asphyxia. The cesarean section (SC) in pregnant woman can be performed in a planned manner with various indications or performed by emergency (emergency) on maternal or fetal indications and or both.Objective: To study the association of response time in category I emergency caesarean section with perinatal outcomes in Dr. Sardjito hospital and the average response time of category 1 emergency cesarean section in Dr. Sardjito hospital.Method: This study uses retrospective cohort. Category 1 CS with an indication of fetal accordance with the inclusion criteria was recorded from 1st January 2012 until 31th July 2016, then we find the response time mean as the cut off point of this study to compare with their perinatal outcomes.Result and Discussion: There were 155 cases out of 386 of emergency CS category 1 met the inclusion criteria during the period 1st January 2012 to 31th July 2016. From the data obtained, the average response time of category 1 emergency CS was 115±52 minutes (35 - 360 minutes). We found no significant differences in perinatal outcomes in the group’s response time ≥115 minutes with a value of p>0.05 on the Apgar score, CPAP, infant mortality, ventilator, NICU care, MAS and HIE than those category 1 emergency CS with a response time <115 minutes. From multivariate analysis, general anaesthesia was statistically significant against perinatal outcomes Apgar score <7 at 5 minutes with (p=0.044). Prematurity in the multivariate analysis was statistically significant against perinatal outcomes Apgar score ≤3 at 1 minute with (p=0.040), Apgar score <7 at 5 minutes with (p=0.025) and the use of CPAP with (p=0.009).Conclusions: Response time category 1 emergency cesarean section in this study did not affect perinatal outcomes. General anesthesia effect on perinatal outcomes Apgar score <7 at 5 minutes, whereas the prematurity effect on perinatal outcomes Apgar score ≤3 at 1 minute, Apgar score <7 at 5 minutes and the use of CPAP.Keywords: category 1 emergency caesarean section, response time, fetal distress

Background: Cesarean section is a surgical procedure, which is the most frequently performed in gynecology and obstetrics. It is commonly believed that an operative delivery is a less painful and safer mode of delivery, which translates into an increasing number of the procedures performed without medical indications. The maternal sequelae of cesarean sections are well elucidated and widely discussed in the literature, while long-term neonatal consequences still remain the issue of research and scientific dispute. The aim of the present paper was to perform a systematic review of current literature regarding pediatrics consequences of cesarean section. Methods: We reviewed available data from PubMed, Science Direct as well as Google Scholar bases concerning early and long-term neonatal sequelae of operative deliveries. The following key words were used: “cesarean section”, “caesarean section”, “neonatal outcomes”, “respiratory disorders”, “asthma”, “obesity”, “overweight”, and “neurological disorders”. A total of 1636 papers were retrieved out of which 27 were selected for the final systematic review whereas 16 articles provided data for meta-analysis. Statistical analyses were performed using RevMan 5.4. To determine the strength of association between the caesarean section and respiratory tract infections, asthma, diabetes type 1 as well as obesity the pooled odds ratios (OR) with the 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated. Results: Conducted meta-analyses revealed that caesarean section is a risk factor for respiratory tract infections (pooled OR = 1.30 95%CI 1.06–1.60, p = 0.001), asthma (pooled OR = 1.23 95%CI 1.14–1.33, p < 0.00001) as well as obesity (pooled OR = 1.35 95%CI 1.29–1.41, p < 0.00001) in offspring. Conclusions: The results of the studies included indicated that children delivered by cesarean section more commonly developed respiratory tract infections, obesity and the manifestations of asthma than children delivered vaginally. The risk of developing diabetes mellitus type 1 or neurological disorders in offspring after caesarean section is still under discussion.

The article presents data from a retrospective analysis of 8,706 childbirth histories of the Volgograd Clinical Perinatal Center No. 2 for 2018–2019 years. To analyze the frequency and indications for caesarean section, the 10-group classification by M. Robson was used. The results obtained allowed us to determine the groups with the highest frequency of cesarean section and outline ways to reduce the frequency of abdominal birth in these groups.

Abstract Background Racial disparities in adverse perinatal outcomes have been studied in other countries, but little has been done for the Canadian population. In this study, we sought to examine the disparities in adverse perinatal outcomes between Asians and Caucasians in Ontario, Canada. Methods We conducted a population-based retrospective cohort study that included all Asian and Caucasian women who attended a prenatal screening and resulted in a singleton birth in an Ontario hospital (April 1st, 2015-March 31st, 2017). Generalized estimating equation models were used to estimate the independent adjusted relative risks and adjusted risk difference of adverse perinatal outcomes for Asians compared with Caucasians. Results Among 237,293 eligible women, 31% were Asian and 69% were Caucasian. Asians were at an increased risk of gestational diabetes mellitus, placental previa, early preterm birth (< 32 weeks), preterm birth, emergency cesarean section, 3rd and 4th degree perineal tears, low birth weight (< 2500 g, < 1500 g), small-for-gestational-age (<10th percentile, <3rd percentile), neonatal intensive care unit admission, and hyperbilirubinemia requiring treatment, but had lower risks of preeclampsia, macrosomia (birth weight > 4000 g), large-for-gestational-age neonates, 5-min Apgar score < 7, and arterial cord pH ≤7.1, as compared with Caucasians. No difference in risk of elective cesarean section was observed between Asians and Caucasians. Conclusion There are significant differences in several adverse perinatal outcomes between Asians and Caucasians. These differences should be taken into consideration for clinical practices due to the large Asian population in Canada.

Background.Oligohydramnion in the first half of pregnancy, combined with congenital abnormalities in the fetus has objective difficulties in diagnosis. The morphology features and type of defects associated with oligohydramnion, which manifests in the first half of pregnancy, are not sufficiently studied at the present stage. Aims to evaluate the clinical significance of diagnosing oligohydramnion in the first half of pregnancy in women with congenital fetal malformations. Materials and methods.The analysis of the course of pregnancy and perinatal outcomes in 77 women with low water content in combination with congenital malformations of the fetus and 72 patients with a normal amount of amniotic fluid and no congenital malformations of the fetus was performed. The patients of the main group were divided into two subgroups depending on the severity of oligohydramnion: the 1st subgroup (n = 54) patients with severe oligohydramnion and the 2nd subgroup (n = 23) patients with moderate oligohydramnion. The amount of amniotic fluid was determined by 3D/4D ultrasound (1321 weeks of gestation) and the structure of fetal abnormalities associated with oligohydramnion was analyzed. We evaluated perinatal outcomes in women with congenital malformations of the fetus in combination with oligohydramnion and the effect of its severity on the outcome of pregnancy. Results.In the main group (n = 77), fetal abnormalities were detected in patients: urinary system 39 (50.6%), respiratory system 4 (5.2%), heart 1 (1.3%), chromosomal and genetic abnormalities 14 (18.2%), central nervous system 3 (3.9%), osseous system 3 (3.9%), multiple 13 (16.9%). In the main group (n = 77), pregnancy was terminated for medical indications in 47 (61%) cases, in 6 (7.8%) spontaneous miscarriage occurred, in 5 (6.5%) antenatal fetal death. 19 (24.7%) children were born alive, and surgical treatment in the neonatal period was required in 8 (10.4%) cases. In the 1st subgroup (n = 54) in 53 (98.1%) cases, there was a loss of the fetus, in 1 (1.9%) the newborn died on the 9th day. In the 2nd subgroup (n = 23), fetal death occurred in 5 (21.7%) cases, 18 (78.3%) children were born alive, and 8 (44.4%) newborns were operated on in the neonatal period. In the control group, all pregnancies ended with the birth of healthy children. A decrease in ultrasound imaging of internal organs in the fetus was observed when a pregnant woman was obese (BMI more than 35). Conclusions.Oligohydramnion in the first half of pregnancy in combination with fetal malformation should be considered an extremely unfavorable clinical sign for the prognosis of pregnancy and the health of the fetus and newborn. 3D/4D ultrasound scanning allows you to reliably determine oligohydramnion in the first half of pregnancy, and the degree of its severity to assume the nature of complications.

Cortisol administered to the mother prior to elective repeat cesarean section resulted in an increased level of this hormone in both the mother and the infant's blood at the time of delivery. Cortisol given either to the mother prior to delivery or to the infant directly augmented the infant's hyperglycemic response to 30 µg/kg of glucagon. Some implications of these findings are discussed.

Background: Fetal macrosomia has a major influence on maternal, neonatal and pregnancy outcomes.Objective: To describe the clinical and subclinical features and the management of fetal macrosomia on pregnancy outcomes. Subjects and methods: Study subjects including pregnant women and babies born ≥ 3500 g with nulliparous and over 4000 grams with primiparous or multiparous at Departement of Obstetrics and Gynecology in Hue University of Medicine and Pharmacy Hospital. The time of choosing subjects to enter the research group is that after birth, the weight is above 3500/4000 grams, then follow up the pregnancy result and retrospect the clinical and subclinical characteristics. Results: From May 2019 to April 2020, there were 223 pregnant women with the birth weight ≥ 3500 g in this study. The mean neonatal weight for macrosomia was 3869.96 ± 315.72 (g). The birth weight ≥ 4000 g, the rate of cesarean section was 91.5%, vaginal birth was 8.5%. The birth weight 3500 - under 4000 g, the rate of cesarean section was 76%, vaginal birth was 24%. 1.1% maternal complications was perineal tear. Conclusion:Factors related to fetal macrosomia: Maternal age, gender of fetus, parity, a history of fetal macrosomia, maternal height, pregnancy weight gain. Caesarean section is the majority. Key words: Fetal macrosomia, gestational diabetes mellitus, normal labor, caesarean section.
