Unplanned Cesarean Deliveries

Paper Summary:

The paper reveals that there are several short-term and long-term ailments associated with cesarean deliveries for mothers. This study proposes a semi-structured interview to examine whether physicians have sufficient knowledge about the process to minimize the impact of post-surgery ailments related to unplanned cesarean deliveries. The paper also explores whether physicians across different hospitals adopt identical procedures to minimize this impact. This includes short-term risks, long-term risks and risks to future pregnancies.

From the Paper:

"Unplanned cesarean deliveries can take place when induced and/or continued labor may turn out to be harmful for either the mother or the child or both. Doctors prefer unplanned cesarean deliveries when the child fails to make a movement towards the birth channel; or when the cervix fails to open up; or when the child's heart rate is abnormal and it is assumed that the child can no longer deal with continued labor; or when prolapsed cord slides through the cervix which endangers child's oxygen supply; or when placental abruption takes place and sufficient oxygen cannot be delivered; or when the water breaks; or when the genital herpes erupts."
