Abstract
Neonatal and Maternal Short-Term Outcome after Emergency Caesarean Section in Comparison to Elective and Second Stage Caesareans: Results of A Retrospective 10-Year Survey
Highlights
Today’s obstetrics in Europe is organized in a differentiated way
This study investigates to what extent the neonatal and maternal short-term outcome after an emergency caesarean differs from the outcome after an elective primary c-section as well as after a second stage c-section
The time interval determined within guidelines plays an important role in court cases [8,9], whereby the defined time is supposed to serve as a point of reference and the constellation in each case ought to be evaluated individually [36]
Summary
Today’s obstetrics in Europe is organized in a differentiated way. Risks for mother and child have been reduced significantly. This becomes apparent in the decreased perinatal mortality rate. In 2000 it went down again to 4.4 and settled down at a stable level between 3-4% [1] in Germany and Europe. At the beginning of the 20th century the rate of maternal deaths at live births was 300-350/100,000 in Europe. Maternal deaths in Europe are rare, an under - reporting has to be assumed. The maternal deaths in Europe include information of under 3/100,000 births to 10/100,000 [2,3]
