Summary: First elective cesarean section is associated with greater average blood loss compared to repeated surgery, which may be explained by lower uterine segment scarring.

Summary: Maternal age, BMI, parity, ethnicity, and birth-weight percentile are predictors of Cesarean section following induction of labor, but the associations vary depending on the indication for the Cesarean section. These characteristics should be considered along with the Bishop score to assess the risk of Cesarean section for different indications in women undergoing induction of labor.

Summary: This study retrospectively reviewed the records of 632 patients undergoing cesarean section and prescribed IVPCA. The study found that setting an appropriate initial IVA regimen with a basal rate infusion significantly reduced the rate of second prescription, but increased the incidence of complications. Therefore, for postoperative pain management in cesarean section patients, it is important to properly set the initial IVA regimen.

Summary: The study did not show any significant benefit from using the fetal pillow during full dilatation cesarean section in preventing maternal or fetal adverse outcomes. Further randomized studies are needed to prove the clinical benefits of this device.

Summary: Cesarean scar ectopic pregnancy is a serious complication that requires prompt diagnosis and management. Ultrasound and surgical resection are the recommended diagnostic and treatment methods. Patients should receive counseling and be educated about effective contraceptive methods.

Summary: This study investigated the association between anesthesia methods (general anesthesia and neuraxial anesthesia) during cesarean section and the risk of postpartum depression. The results showed that women who underwent general anesthesia had a higher risk of depressive disorders and a higher need for antidepressants to address sleep problems.

Summary: This study reports the anesthesia management in a paraplegic woman undergoing cesarean section and reviews anesthesia strategies used in other studies. The results show that spinal anesthesia is the preferred choice for paraplegic women requiring cesarean section.

Summary: This study evaluated the relationship between the fetal head-circumference-to-maternal-height (HC/MH) ratio and the occurrence of Cesarean section (CS) for labor dystocia. The HC/MH ratio was found to be independently associated with CS for labor dystocia and had a moderate predictive value.

Summary: This study identified several risk factors associated with emergency cesarean section in pregnant Saudi women. A prediction model showed 72% accuracy in predicting the likelihood of emergency cesarean section. This information can be useful to individualize the risk of emergency cesarean section and to implement appropriate measures to prevent unnecessary cesarean sections.

Summary: This study evaluated the cost-effectiveness of cesarean section (CS) on maternal request compared with planned vaginal birth in a Swedish context. The results showed that planned vaginal birth leads to lower healthcare costs and better somatic health outcomes compared to elective CS without medical indication. Although there is uncertainty, the results remained stable across sensitivity analyses.

Summary: This study compared the effects of two different doses of sodium thiopental on the depth of anesthesia in cesarean section and the condition of newborn infants. The results showed that 7 mg/kg STP created deeper hypnosis for mothers but negatively impacted Apgar score and neurobehavioral test of neonates. Therefore, STP may no longer be a preferred choice for anesthesia in cesarean section.

Summary: The study aimed to evaluate the impact of immediate oral full feeding and on-demand oral full feeding during labor after unplanned cesarean delivery on vomiting and maternal satisfaction. The results showed that immediate feeding did not increase maternal satisfaction and was not noninferior in terms of post-operation vomiting compared to on-demand feeding. It is recommended to encourage and provide early full feeding.

Summary: This meta-analysis assessed the predictive efficacy of perfusion index for hypotension following spinal anesthesia in parturients undergoing elective cesarean section. The results showed that the perfusion index exhibited an acceptable level of accuracy in predicting perioperative hypotension after spinal anesthesia in parturients undergoing elective CS, highlighting its potential value as a useful tool for clinicians.

Summary: The rate of elective cesarean section in Lebanon is high, with 25% of CS deliveries being planned term elective CS. Primary and repeat CS at 37 weeks gestation increased the risk of adverse neonatal outcomes, while there were fewer associations at 38 weeks gestation. Term cesarean deliveries before 39 weeks gestation are associated with respiratory and other adverse neonatal outcomes, and delaying birth to 39 weeks can prevent a significant percentage of these outcomes.

Summary: Infectious diseases like COVID-19 can have different direct impacts on men and women, with higher case fatality rates observed in men. However, the organizational changes in healthcare delivery to protect vulnerable groups may have indirect consequences, particularly for pregnant women.

Summary: This study examined the resources and organization of obstetric anaesthetic care in the UK. The results showed significant disparities between the provision of obstetric anaesthesia services and national recommendations regarding consultant staffing, support for elective caesarean section lists, antenatal anaesthetic clinics, and consultant support for service development. There was also wide national variation in service provision.

Summary: Ethnic inequalities exist in obstetric anaesthetic care in the UK, with black women more likely to receive general anaesthesia during caesarean section births and Asian women less likely to receive neuraxial anaesthesia during vaginal births. Further research is needed to understand the causes of these disparities and to address potential remediable factors such as access to appropriate care.
