Abstract:

Context: Among women with a prior caesarean section, 82.2% will have another caesarean delivery. The Society of Obstetrics and Gynaecology of Canada (SOGC) recommends that physicians offer medically eligible women with a previous caesarean section a trial of labour, to attempt a vaginal delivery. With greater inclusion of the patient in medical decision-making, it is important to understand women's part in this decision-making process. Objectives: To describe women's decision-making by looking at: 1) whether the decision was reported as primarily physician- or patient-driven 2) women's reason

Abstract:

Introduction Maternal obesity (defined as a body mass index (BMI) ≥30kg/m2) and overweight (defined as BMI 25-29.9kg/m2) have adverse implications for both the mother and the baby, including an increased risk of caesarean section. The prevalence of caesarean section among the UK obstetric population has been increasing in recent years. Evidence suggests that caesarean section in obese women may carry a higher risk of postoperative complications, such as haemorrhage, wound infection and delayed healing. These complications may result in a longer length of stay in hospital after caesarean delive

Abstract:

Incomplete healing of CS scars has become a recognised sequel to this operation, and is associated with complications in later pregnancies. These can include caesarean scar pregnancy (CSP), a morbidly adherent placenta, scar dehiscence or rupture. To date there is uncertainty relating to the recognition of poor scar healing and the factors that lead to it. In recent years, there has been an increase in studies using ultrasound imaging to describe scars as deficient, or incompletely healed. However, these studies were carried out in the non-pregnant state, with a paucity of data to associate th

Caesarean section is a common major surgical procedure and long-term complications have not been fully investigated. By longitudinal population based register studies, based on National health registers and medical data records, maternal complications after caesarean delivery at subsequent labour (N=7 683), among extremely preterm births (N=406), and at remote gynaecologic surgery (N=25 354) were explored. In Paper I, uterine closure was investigated in respect to uterine rupture in a subsequent delivery after caesarean section. Uterine rupture occurred in 1.3 % of women with a previous caesar

Abstract:

Increasing caesarean section rates are a global phenomenon. It is widely believed many procedures are unnecessary and there are many opinions about what (if anything) to do about it. Attempts to limit the trend have had little noticeable success. This thesis is about reducing caesarean section in labour, and focuses on the concept that it can be predicted, and then prevented by induction of labour. Patterns of caesarean section over 27 years were described in two Sydney hospitals. The increase in primary caesarean sections was mostly due to increases in emergency procedures for slow labour,

Background: Pregnant women with one previous caesarean section (CS) must consider their preference for mode of delivery.

I apply Trivers’s (1974) parent-offspring conflict model to conceptualise breastfeeding and predict realisation of infant feeding based on the interaction of maternal cost and infant benef

Abstract:

Single shot spinal anaesthesia for caesarean section is currently accepted as the favoured method in the absence of contraindications, for reasons of safety and comfort. Firstly, there is an increased risk of failed intubation associated with general anaesthesia. Secondly, spinal anaesthesia, if practiced correctly, allows for a superior experience of the delivery and improved bonding with the infant. Maternal haemodynamic stability is desirable both for maternal and neonatal safety, and to diminish maternal side-effects such as nausea and vomiting. Therefore, after an extensive literature rev

Abstract:

INTRODUCTION Caesarean section (CS) is one of the most frequently performed major abdominal surgeries in the world. There has been a global increasing trend in CS rates over the past three decades, particularly in women who have had one previous CS. Vaginal birth after caesarean section (VBAC) is a safe option and is still strongly recommended by all international authorities with success rates ranging from 60% to 80%. However, women's preference for VBAC vs elective repeat caesarean section (ERCS) remains very poorly understood in South Africa (SA) as very few studies have addressed women's p

Abstract:

The rate of Caesarean sections (CS) in the UK is on the increase. In the year 1989-90 the rate was 11.3% rising to 17% for the year 1997-98 (Marx et al, 2001). The World Health Organisation (WHO) recommends that no more than 15% of all births are by CS. Today in the UK 22% of all babies are born by CS (Song et al, 2004). Research by Jackson and Irvine (1998) and Marx et al (2001) suggests that maternal requests are an important factor in the increase. Marx et al (2001) report that the rate of elective CS has doubled in the UK in the last 10 years. However, there is little consensual informatio

In England and Wales, the Caesarean section (CS) rate is 21.5%, ranging from 6% to 66% between maternity units. The impact of a high CS rate on women's health and NHS resources is not clear.

An understanding of these factors is important to ensure quality of obstetric care.

It also showed that a trial of labour after caesarean section was associated with considerable obstetric risks. In such high-risk pregnancies, using the signs of parturition to time elective CSs in the bitch is problematic, as by then there may already be foetal distress or demise.

Abstract:

<p>Introduction: The caesarean section rate has increased significantly in the last twenty years. The fact that a woman has delivered by caesarean section once does not automatically mean that she will again. Some women want a repeat caesarean section while others want a vaginal birth. Objective: The aim of this study was to describe women’s thoughts, expectations and desires in the presence of their delivery after a previous caesarean section.

Previous research suggests that at least 5-10% of women experience persistent scar pain following caesarean section (CS), but does not explain why women rarely access health care, how this pain may affect them or what their perceived health care needs are. This study employed a mixed methods approach to establish the impact of caesarean scar problems and any associated healthcare needs, from the perspective of the individual. Permissions for the study were received from the University of Bri
