Abstract

ObjectiveEvaluation of the compliance of the color codes protocol according to the indication of ceasarean section and on the decision-to-delivery interval according to the color code, the operator and the period. MethodsThis is a retrospective monocentric study including women who had to undergo an emergency cesarean section after 37 weeks of amenorrhea in the Jeanne-de-Flandre hospital between 2015 and 2017. Three groups were created: cesarean section with green code, orange code and red code. We compared population characteristics and obstetrical data, then drew up a reassessed color code and analyzed the correspondence between the initial color code and the reassessed one. Finally, we considered the respect of decision-to-delivery interval according to color code, operator level and period. ResultsEight hundred and eighty-one patients were included, amongst which 303 (34%) fell into the green c-section, 353 (40%) into the orange c-section and 225 (26%) into the red c-section. In the three groups, there was a significant consistency between the initial color code and the reassessed one, with a kappa agreement test of 95% 0.95 (0.93-0.97). The average decision-to-delivery interval was 37±20min for the green c-section, 20±6min for the orange c-section and 12±3min for the red c-section with a significant respect of the decision-to-delivery interval according to color code P<0.001. The decision-to-delivery interval was similar considering the operator level and the period. ConclusionIn our study, we observed the compliance with color code regarding the indication of ceasarean section and the respect of the decision-to-delivery interval whatever the time of occurrence and the operator.
