Abstract:
In the UK, one in every three to four births is now a caesarean birth. More women and birthing people are choosing maternally requested caesarean births. This is for a number of reasons including increased knowledge of birth modes, fear of vaginal childbirth, the societal perception of birth in the media, previous trauma, and concerns with medicalisation or induction of labour, which is also on the rise with 30–40% of women choosing a vaginal birth having their labour medically induced. Whilst midwives have always been the supporters of physiological birth, we need to support all women and birthing people to have a safe and positive birth being ‘with woman’.

Abstract:
SummaryThe prevalence and determinants of primary caesarean section in Jamaica were estimated from a survey of women aged 14–49 years. Among 2328 women reporting 2395 live hospital births during the period January 1984 to May 1989, the prevalence of caesarean section was 4·1%. Repeat caesarean sections accounted for 1·3% of the hospital births during that period. Of the medical complications studied, prolonged labour and/or cephalopelvic disproportion carried the highest risks of primary caesarean section, followed by breech presentation, maternal diabetes, a high birth-weight baby, maternal hypertension, and a low birth-weight baby. The risk of primary caesarean section increased with maternal age, decreased with parity, was higher for urban than for rural residents, and was higher for births in private versus government hospitals.

Abstract Objectives To examine pregnancy outcomes among births to women with idiopathic inflammatory myopathy (IIM) in relation to time of IIM diagnosis using population-based data. Methods This study used Swedish nationwide registers to identify all singleton births that occurred between 1973 and 2016 among women diagnosed with IIM between 1998 and 2016 and among women unexposed to IIM. We classified births according to the IIM status of the mother at time of delivery: post-IIM (n = 68), 1–3 years pre-IIM (n = 23), >3 years pre-IIM (n = 710) and unexposed to IIM (n = 4101). Multivariate regression models were used to estimate relative risks of adverse pregnancy outcomes in post-IIM births and pre-IIM births separately, in comparison with their non-IIM comparators. Results We found that post-IIM births had increased risks of caesarean section [adjusted relative risk (aRR) = 1.98; 95% CI: 1.08, 3.64], preterm birth (aRR = 3.35; 95% CI: 1.28, 8.73) and low birth weight (aRR = 5.69; 95% CI: 1.84, 17.55) compared with non-IIM comparators. We also noticed higher frequencies of caesarean section and instrumental delivery in 1–3 years pre-IIM births than in the non-IIM comparators. Conclusion Women who gave birth after IIM diagnosis had higher risks of caesarean section, preterm birth and low birth weight. These results further underline the importance of special care and close monitoring of women with IIM. Higher frequencies of caesarean section and instrumental delivery in pre-IIM births highlight the need for future research on the influence of subclinical features of IIM on pregnancy outcomes.

Abstract:
OBJECTIVE: To examine maternal and obstetric factors influencing births by cesarean section according to health care funding. METHODS: A cross-sectional study with data from Southeastern Brazil. Caesarean section births from February 2011 to July 2012 were included. Data were obtained from interviews with women whose care was publicly or privately funded, and from their obstetric and neonatal records. Univariate and multivariate analyses were conducted to generate crude and adjusted odds ratios (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (95%CI) for caesarean section births. RESULTS: The overall caesarean section rate was 53% among 9,828 women for whom data were available, with the highest rates among women whose maternity care was privately funded. Reasons for performing a c-section were infrequently documented in women’s maternity records. The variables that increased the likelihood of c-section regardless of health care funding were the following: paid employment, previous c-section, primiparity, antenatal and labor complications. Older maternal age, university education, and higher socioeconomic status were only associated with c-section in the public system. CONCLUSIONS: Higher maternal socioeconomic status was associated with greater likelihood of a caesarean section birth in publicly funded settings, but not in the private sector, where funding source alone determined the mode of birth rather than maternal or obstetric characteristics. Maternal socioeconomic status and private healthcare funding continue to drive high rates of caesarean section births in Brazil, with women who have a higher socioeconomic status more likely to have a caesarean section birth in all birth settings.

ObjectivesTo investigate the relation between mode of birth and women’s long-term sexual health.DesignMaternal follow-up of the Danish National Birth Cohort (1996–2002) in 2013–2014 including questions on sexual health. Logistic regression was used to relate registry-based information about mode of birth and perineal tears with data on sexual problems.SettingDenmark.ParticipantsOf 82 569 eligible mothers in the Danish National Birth Cohort, 43 639 (53%) completed the follow-up. Of these, 37 417 women had a partner, and answered at least one question on sexual health.Main outcome measuresSelf-reported sexual health.ResultsParticipants were on average 44 years old, and 16 years after their first birth. The frequency of sexual problems among women with only spontaneous vaginal births, the reference group, was 37%. For women who only had caesarean sections, more problems were reported (OR 1.18; 95% CI 1.09 to 1.28). For women who had a spontaneous vaginal birth subsequent to a caesarean, and for women with only vaginal births who had experienced one or more instrumental vaginal births, the odds of sexual problems did not differ from women with only spontaneous vaginal births (OR 1.00; 95% CI 0.91 to 1.11) and (OR 1.01; 95% CI 0.95 to 1.08), respectively.ConclusionsThese findings indicate that caesarean section does not protect against long-term sexual problems. Rather, vaginal birth, even after caesarean section, was associated with fewer long-term sexual problems.

Abstract:
The rate of caesarean delivery has been rising both in developed countries and developing countries, while there is no benefit evidence of caesarean section when it done with no clinical indication which is normally linked with caesarean delivery. Education and information about normal births can significantly reduce caesarean rates and switch women's preferences in giving birth to normal and physiological delivery. This study aimed to learn the opinions of female employees in Eskişehir family health centers about normal and caesarean births, to determine important points and develop suggestions for these methods. The population of the study was 170 working women. Factor analysis, 16 items normal birth, and caesarean delivery scale were gathered under one factor, and this single factor explained 36.775% of the total variance. Results showed that when item-total correlation values of normal birth and caesarean section were examined, it was found that item-total correlation values of 16 items in the scale were between 0.407 and 0.759. When item scores were examined, it was determined that there was consistency between the items. This research has shown that the majority of female workers prefer to giving births by caesarean section, while there is no clinical indication and they are suggested to normal delivery. As a result of the established DFA model, the fit indexes of the model were found to be among the perfect fit values (x2/df=65.26/25≤3).

Objective: This study aims to understand the daily experience of caesarean births on their care in the maternities of the city of Kinshasa. Materials and Methods: Our study is descriptive, opted for a qualitative estimate of the phenomenological type to study the daily experience of caesarean births on their care . The direction chosen for this study is inspired by a phenomenological approach which aims to describe and understand phenomena based on the person's experience. The phenomenological survey method was used for data collection and the face-to-face semi-structured interview technique. Results: After the analyses, in relation to the experience, the women who gave birth before the caesarean have a Feeling of comfort after psychological preparation; Caesarean section is perceived as a dangerous practice that exposes to death; the caesarean represents a test of strength, binding but an act of rescue; During their care, the midwives say that they had noticed a relaxation in the care following financial demotivation. Conclusions: With regard to the expectation vis-à-vis the nursing staff, those who have given birth to caesarean sections want access to be given to their husbands for support during the caesarean section.

ObjectivesTo examine hospital variation in crude and risk-adjusted rates of intrapartum-related perinatal mortality among caesarean births.DesignSecondary analysis of data from the DECIDE (DECIsion for caesarean DElivery) cluster randomised trial postintervention phase.Setting21 district and regional hospitals in Burkina Faso.ParticipantsAll 5134 women giving birth by caesarean section in a 6-month period in 2016.Primary outcome measureIntrapartum-related perinatal mortality (fresh stillbirth or neonatal death within 24 hours of birth).ResultsAlmost 1 in 10 of 5134 women giving birth by caesarean experienced an intrapartum-related perinatal death. Crude mortality rates varied substantially from 21 to 189 per 1000 between hospitals. Variation was markedly reduced after adjusting for case mix differences (the median OR decreased from 1.9 (95% CI 1.5 to 2.5) to 1.3 (95% CI 1.2 to 1.7)). However, higher and more variable adjusted mortality persisted among hospitals performing fewer caesareans per month. Additionally, adjusting for caesarean care components did not further reduce variation (median OR=1.4 (95% CI 1.2 to 1.8)).ConclusionsThere is a high burden of intrapartum-related perinatal deaths among caesarean births in Burkina Faso and sub-Saharan Africa more widely. Variation in adjusted mortality rates indicates likely differences in quality of caesarean care between hospitals, particularly lower volume hospitals. Improving access to and quality of emergency obstetric and newborn care is an important priority for improving survival of babies at birth.Trial registration numberISRCTN48510263.

Abstract:
Studies addressing factors associated with adverse birth outcomes have almost exclusively been based on hospital statistics. This is a serious limitation in developing countries where the majority of births do not occur within health facilities. This paper examines factors associated with premature deliveries, small baby’s size at birth and Caesarean section deliveries in Kenya based on the 1993 Kenya Demographic and Health Survey data. Due to the hierarchical nature of the data, the analysis uses multilevel logistic regression models to take into account the family and community effects. The results show that the odds of unfavourable birth outcomes are significantly higher for first births than for higher order births. Furthermore, antenatal care (measured by frequency of antenatal care visits and tetanus toxoid injection) is observed to have a negative association with the incidence of premature births. For the baby’s size at birth, maternal nutritional status is observed to be a predominant factor. Short maternal stature is confirmed as a significant risk factor for Caesarean section deliveries. The observed higher odds of Caesarean section deliveries among women from households of high socioeconomic status are attributed to the expected association between socioeconomic status and the use of appropriate maternal health care services. The odds of unfavourable birth outcomes vary significantly between women. In addition, the odds of Caesarean section deliveries vary between districts, after taking into account the individual-level characteristics of the woman.

Abstract:
This study investigates the history of caesarean section and women's experience of the operation today. There has been no systematic collection of historical data on caesarean section since 1944. This study now constitutes the most comprehensive compilation of the history of the operation to date. It illustrates the development of the medical ethos concerning women as patients and provides the background to the next phase of research: the experience of caesarean section. Previous research on caesarean section has exhaustively analysed the indications for the operation, reasons for the increasing rate and women's perceptions of abdominal delivery. This study differs in eliciting responses from women on a range of issues relating to caesarean birth in order to assess the quality of information given to women in hopital regarding the necessity for caesarean operations and analyse the effects of abdominal birth on women. Women's experiences were examined in a sample of 300 women who had delivered by caesarean section. Significant differences were found in reactions between women who had emergency operations and those whose caesareans were elective. The emergency caesarean women suffered more in all negative measures including increased feelings of pain and depression. Negative sequelae was found to relate to the unexpected nature of emergency operations and the use of general anaesthesia. Subjectively women report that they do not suffer as a result of caesarean birth, yet objectively it is clear that they do. This anomaly is attributed to the unequal relationship between women and doctors. Women feel grateful for the treatment offered by the doctors and therefore do not express dissatisfaction with their care. Recommendations are made suggesting practical ways in which maternity services, in respect of caesarean birth, can be improved.

Abstract:
Caesarean birth is the mode of delivery for almost a quarter of births in New Zealand (NZ), and as the rate steadily rises, the expectation of a ���natural birth��� remains ubiquitous in society. Research investigating the impact of caesarean birth has previously demonstrated mixed findings regarding psychological outcomes, and recently caesareans have become topical with the addition of the idiom ���too posh to push��� to our lexicon. This implies that caesarean is an easy option, and may have shaped a sense of stigma against caesareans, particularly elective caesareans. The previous research demonstrating differences in psychological outcomes between planned and unplanned caesareans was conducted when caesarean birth was less common, and tended to be quantitative in design. The purpose of this qualitative research was to investigate the experiences of 32 women, including both first-time and non-first time mothers, who have undergone caesarean birth, half planned and half unplanned, in order to gain insight into their perceptions of their experiences and identify aspects that contributed to positive and negative experiences. Semi-structured interviews were used to explore their perceptions, including how they and others have reacted to their caesarean experience. These interviews were analysed using thematic analysis to identify themes to help to understand their experiences. This research supported a number of previous findings regarding caesarean birth including increased rates of induction associated with caesarean birth; differences in initial interaction between mother and infant for planned or unplanned caesareans; trust in medical experts; low occurrence of 'maternal' request for caesarean; and perceptions of societal attitudes towards caesarean. In addition, this research identified themes regarding the roles of expectations and preferences with the actual caesarean or breast feeding experience, influenced by individual and social factors. Negative outcomes were associated with a lack of reconciliation between actual experience, expectations and preferences; while positive outcomes were associated with effective reconciliation, through the development of rationales, applied both prospectively and retrospectively.

Resumo: Os Sistemas de Informação em Saúde são fundamentais para o conhecimento da situação de saúde da população e o direcionamento das políticas de saúde. O Sistema de Informações sobre Nascidos Vivos (SINASC) do Ministério da Saúde, cujo instrumento de coleta de dados é a Declaração de Nascido Vivo (DNV), foi implantado com o intuito de obter informações para subsidiar propostas para o grupo materno-infantil. Por meio de estudo transversal, que analisou 14.444 DNVs de Campinas (SP) em 2001, estudou-se a viabilidade da utilização dos dados do SINASC para descrever o perfil de mães e recém-nascidos (RNs) e determinar fatores de risco para baixo peso de nascimento (BPN), parto cesáreo e gravidez na adolescência. Este perfil foi identificado por: local de ocorrência do parto, características sociodemográficas maternas, gestacionais, do parto e dos RNs. Os fatores de risco foram determinados pela correlação entre as variáveis, utilizando análise de regressão logística. A proporção de captação do SINASC foi de 99,1%, e as DNVs foram preenchidas em quase 100% dos itens. A maioria dos nascimentos ocorreu em hospitais, sendo o maior percentual de filhos de moradoras das áreas dos Distritos de Saúde (DS) Noroeste e Sudoeste (com baixas condições de vida), onde ocorreram os piores resultados. O percentual de mães adolescentes foi de 17,8%; a maior concentração de nascimentos foi para mulheres com 20 a 34 anos; 60,6% não trabalhavam fora, 35,9% não tinham companheiro, 37,8% tinham até sete anos de escolaridade e 47,1%, de oito a onze anos. A paridade foi variável, sendo a maior ocorrência entre mulheres sem filhos ou com um; 99,6% compareceram pelo menos uma vez ao pré-natal; 74,4% realizaram mais de seis consultas. Associou-se à gravidez na adolescência: morar em DS com baixas condições de vida, não ter ocupação ou companheiro. As adolescentes grávidas apresentaram risco de pré-natal inadequado. A maioria das gestações foram únicas, a termo, com RNs masculinos, brancos, com pequena proporção de hipóxia e com 1,0% de anomalias. O percentual de prematuridade foi de 7,1%. Houve alta incidência de cesarianas, sendo maior o risco nas gestações duplas e nos partos prematuros e para mulheres com companheiro, as maiores de 20 anos, as com melhor escolaridade, as trabalhadoras fora do lar, as moradoras em DS com melhores condições, as com mais consultas, as primíparas, com um ou dois filhos. A média de peso ao nascer foi 3.142g; 25,7% dos RNs nasceram com peso insuficiente e 9,1% com baixo peso. Associou-se ao BPN: prematuridade, baixa escolaridade materna, menos de sete consultas e RNs femininos. A configuração da DNV não permitiu identificar partos da rede pública ou da rede privada e incluir adequadamente as mulheres em união consensual. Os agrupamentos do número de consultas de pré-natal não estão de acordo com o parâmetro do Ministério da Saúde. Este estudo mostrou que há viabilidade da utilização dos dados do SINASC para o planejamento de ações de saúde. Além disso, a distribuição dos resultados, pelos diferentes DS, mostrou que o perfil do grupo materno-infantil não é homogêneo na cidade
Abstract: Health Information Systems are fundamental to the knowledge of health status of the population and to manage health policies. The Information System on Live Births (SINASC) was developed by the Brazilian Health Ministry and designed to improve quality of information on newborns and on pregnant women, in order to support health proposals to infant-maternal group. This system has been implemented since 1990 and Live Birth Certificate (LBC) is the document to collect data. Throughout a cross-sectional study 14,444 LBC from the city of Campinas, SP, in 2001, were analysed in order to determine SINASC's viability. Mothers' and newborns' profiles were described and risk factors for low birth weight (LBW), caesarean-sections and pregnancy in adolescence were showed. The profiles were described according to mothers¿ social-demographic characteristics and those related to their pregnancies and to the newborns. The assessment of the association among variables was performed through logistic regression. The study showed excellent coverage of the SINASC (99.1%) and almost 100% of the variables were filled. Most of the births occured in health services of the city and the higher proportion was of babies from women who lived in Health District (HD) Northwest and Southwest (in low conditions of life), where the worst results occured. The percentage of adolescent mothers were 17.8%; the highest proportion of births was among women between 20 and 34 years old; 60.6% of all mothers didn't have jobs, 35.9% were single; 37.8% studied until seven years and 47.1% studied for about eight and eleven years. The number of children were variable, but the higher concentration was on women with no children or just one. Almost all women at least had one prenatal care appointment; 74.4% had more than six medical visits. Pregnancy in adolescence was associated with women living in low conditions of life, without husbands or incomes and who had inadequate prenatal care. Most of the gestations were single and the babies were mature, most of them were male, white, born with a low proportion of hipoxia and 1% of them showed malformations. The percentage of premature babies were 7.1%. The incidence of caesarean-sections was very high (54.9%) and the risk factors for them were: twin gestations, premature birth and women with husbands, having better education level, with jobs, living in good places, having more prenatal care visits, with no children and with one or two. The average birth weight was 3,142g; 25.7% of the babies were born weighing between 2,500g and 2,999g and 9.1% of them weighing less than 2,500g. The risk factors for LBW were: premature birth, low educational level, less than seven prenatal care visits and female baby. This study showed the viability of SINASC to help plan health activities for the infant maternal group. Furthermore, the results in different HD, showed that the mothers¿ and newborns¿ characteristics are different in the city

Developing, implementing and evaluating models of care that reduce the caesarean section (CS) rate have been a health care priority in Australia since the 1990’s. There is minimal evidence examining models of care that aim to nurture women’s emotional well-being after CS; as well as providing consistent evidence-based information and promoting safe and successful vaginal birth in the subsequent pregnancy. Furthermore the experiences of midwives working in these models have been overlooked.

Abstract:
Caesarean birth accounts for a quarter of all births in England and is the most commonly performed operation. Despite this, little is known of how individual women experience planned Caesarean birth. Reviews of the literature reveal that rising rates of Caesarean birth are preceived to be problematic by women ,clinicians and policy makers but women's experiences are either absent from this debate or perceived as universally realised. This qualitative study involved listening to the stories of eight women to reveal how planned Carsarean birth was experienced, understood and constructed.

Abstract:
Half of all preterm births are caused or triggered by an inflammation at fetal-maternal interface. The sustained inflammation that preterm neonates are exposed is generated by maternal chorioamnionitis, premature rupture of membranes. This inflammation will facilitate the preterm labor, but also plays an important role in development of disease like: bronchopulmonary dysplasia, necrotizing enterocolitis, retinopathy of prematurity, intraventricular hemorrhage and periventricular leukomalacia. Preterm neonates have immature immune system. The fragile co-regulation between immune defense mechanisms and immunosuppression (tolerance) is often disturbed at this category of patients. They are at high risk of sepsis due to this imbalance between the defense and suppression mechanisms but also several injuries can contribute to the onset or perpetuation of sustained inflammation. They experience altered antigen exposure in contact with hospital-specific germs, artificial devices, drugs, nutritional antigens, and hypoxia or hyperoxia. This is more significant at extremely preterm infants less than 28 weeks of gestation as they have not developed adaptation processes to tolerate maternal and self-antigens.

Full text
Abstract:
The cesarean section rates in the developed countries are well above the 5% to 15% rate of all births as suggested by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2009 and currently range widely between 25% and 50%. Moreover, the WHO guidance promotes early breastfeeding initiation during the first hour postpartum, exclusive breastfeeding up until the 6th month and maintaining breastfeeding at least up to the second year of the infant’s life. In this review, we discuss the current evidence on whether a cesarean section interferes with the initiation and the long-term duration of breastfeeding practice among new mothers. The literature shows that a cesarean birth does have a detrimental effect on breastfeeding outcomes, however it is not per se a negative factor. It rather seems that infants who have feeding difficulties in the immediate postpartum period may experience long term problems. Therefore, interventions are discussed to promote breastfeeding after cesarean section for health professionals. Emphasis is given on promoting early skin-to-skin contact and on counseling new mothers about the advantages of breastfeeding as well as providing practical support and guidance throughout the early postpartum period.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Background: Due to the painful nature of childbirth and its maternal and neonatal complications, the woman needs support in this phase of their life. The anxiety felt by women before caesarean delivery caused psychological problems, the increased of surgical pain therefore increased the need for pain relief, and prolong hospitalization. This study aimed to investigate the difference of anxiety in intrapartum mothers with normal and sectio caesarea. Subjects and Method: A cross sectional study was conducted at Haji hospital, Surabaya, East Java, Indonesia. A sample of 34 intrapartum mothers was selected by consecutive sampling. The dependent variable was anxiety. The independent variables were normal and section cesarea birth delivery. The data were collected by questionnaire and analyzed by independent t test. Results: There was no difference of anxiety in intrapartum mothers with normal birth delivery (Mean= 56.82; SD= 15.02) and mother those with section cesarea (Mean= 58.19; SD= 12.02). Conclusion: There is no difference of anxiety in intrapartum mothers with normal birth delivery and mother those with section cesarea.

Abstract:
According to the theory of Hipocrates (3rd century BC) "all diseases begin in the intestines". It is now known that intestinal microorganisms participate in physiological processes such as: immune system functioning, detoxification, inflammation, neurotransmitter and vitamin production, nutrient absorption, hunger, and satiety signaling, carbohydrate and fat burning. Thus, a beneficial microbial flora is maintained by proper nutrition. Also, in the literature, there are microbiome-specific associations with different pathologies: attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), asthma, autism, allergies, chronic fatigue, depression, anxiety, and diabetes. To prevent these pathologies, in the children's growth and development it must be considered multiple factors: the type of birth (natural or caesarean), genetics, general health, physical activity, sedentarism, sleep quality, and appropriate nutrition.

Abstract:
During the pandemic, pregnant women have a number of negative experiences that can have negative consequences both for the pregnancy itself and long-term adverse effects for the child. There is a connection between high levels of anxiety and/or depression in a pregnant woman and the risk of complicated labor, premature birth, and the use of an emergency caesarean section. Aim: labor outcomes and health status of newborns. Sample: data on labor of 125 women and on health of 91 children 3-4 months after childbirth. Data was gathered by phone. Results: The majority (92%) have term labor, 5.6% – premature labor (up to 37 weeks), 44 (35%) – caesarean section, CS (among those 85% are emergency interventions due to child's hypoxia or maternal preeclampsia). In our sample 35 (28%) women had COVID-19: 54% – during pregnancy, among these women the frequency of CS is 60%. Complications of labor were in 70 (56%) women; the most frequent were: weakness/absence of labor, fetal hypoxia, and a long anhydrous interval. Medical interventions during childbirth were in 76 (61%) women, of which: opening of the fetal bladder (63%), episiotomy/perineotomy (47%), drug stimulation of labor (72%), vacuum extraction of the fetus (4.2%) . The Apgar score in most newborns was 8/9 but 13 (10.4%) newborns required resuscitation due to asphyxiation during labor. At age 3-4 months children had dysfunctions in gastrointestinal (28.5%), genitourinary (10.2%), cardiovascular (10.9%) system, central nervous system (12%), congenital malformations in 19.7% children. Data is being collected, comparisons of labor outcomes and health of newborns will be presented later. Conclusion: The number of CS is more than it was in the Russian Federation in 2018 (29.5%), and it is very high in women who had COVID-19 during pregnancy В ситуации пандемии беременные женщины испытывают комплекс негативных переживаний, оказывающих негативные последствия как для самой беременности, так и долгосрочные неблагоприятные эффекты для потомства. Целый ряд исследований подтверждает наличие связи высокого уровня тревоги и депрессии у беременной с риском развития преэклампсии, осложненным течением родов, отдаленными последствиями для здоровья ребенка. Цель исследования: изучение особенностей протекания родов у женщин, беременность которых протекала на фоне пандемии коронавируса, а также состояния здоровья новорожденных. Исследование проводится онлайн, данные собираются. На настоящее время (ноябрь 2021) получены данные о протекании родов у 125 женщин. У большинства (92%) – срочные роды, у 5,6% женщин – преждевременные роды (до 37 недель беременности). У 44 (35%) женщин роды путем кесарева сечения (для сравнения: по данным МЗ РФ в 2018 году процент операций кесарева сечения составил 29,5%). Среди операций кесарева сечения 85% занимает экстренное вмешательство в связи с гипоксией ребенка или преэклампсией матери. В нашей выборке 35 (28%) женщин болели Covid-19, из них 54% – во время беременности, среди этих женщин частота кесарева сечения 60%. Осложнения родовой деятельности присутствовали у 70 (56%) женщины, из них наиболее частые осложнения: слабость/отсутствие родовой деятельности, гипоксия плода, длительный безводный промежуток. Медицинские вмешательства во время родов были у 76 (61%) женщин, из них: вскрытие плодного пузыря (63%), эпизиотомия/перинеотомия (47%), медикаментозная стимуляция родовой деятельности (72%), вакуумэкстракция плода (4,2%). Оценка по шкале Апгар у большинства новорожденных в пределах 8/9 баллов, однако потребовались реанимационные мероприятия 13 (10,4%) новорожденным в связи с асфиксией в родах. Также собраны данные по состоянию здоровья 91 ребенка через 3-4 месяца после родов (телефонное интервью): дисфункция желудочно-кишечного тракта у 28,5%, заболевания мочеполовой системы – 10,2%, сердечно-сосудистой системы – 10,9%, центральной нервной системы – 12%, наличие врожденных аномалий развития у 18 (19,7%) детей.

Abstract:
Intracranial haemorrhage is the most serious complication of alloimmune neonatal thrombocytopenia (ANT). It has generally been assumed that this occurs during delivery, but evidence is accumulating that intracranial haemorrhage may have already occurred in utero. Management of the pregnancy at risk is therefore more exacting, and it has been suggested that intrauterine platelet transfusions may be of benefit (Daffos et al, Lancet, Li, 632. 1984). We have used this approach in two pregnancies in PlA1 negative mothers with PlA1 positive fetuses affected by ANT. Both were second pregnancies, the first in each case having produced a brain damaged infant due to CNS haemorrhage. First patient (CW): Ultrasound scans of the fetal head at 10,22,28 and 32 weeks were all normal. She was admitted at 35 weeks for fetal sampling and platelet transfusion. Ultrasonography showed dilated ventricles and a left anterior cerebral haematoma. The fetal platelet count was 12 × 109/1,rising after transfusion of PlA1negative platelets to 139 x 109/1. The baby was delivered by Caesarean section and the cord blood platelet count was 126 × 109/1.Subsequent clinical assessment by CT scanning and NMR indicated both recent (1-2 weeks) and older (>4weeks) cerebral haemorrhages (de Vries et al, in press). Second patient (CR): Platelet transfusions were started earlier in this pregnancy. At 26 weeks the fetal platelet count was 32 × 109/1, rising to 160 × 109/1 after platelet transfusion. This was repeated at 27 wk (25 to 280 × 109/1), 29 weeks (5 to 320 × 109/1) and regularly until birth. Before the third platelet transfusion, the mother received intravenous IgG 0.4 g/Kg/d for 5 days, which had no effect on the fetal platelet count. These cases illustrate the potential value of ultrasound-guided intravascular, umbilical cord transfusions of compatible platelets in raising the fetal platelet count in ANT, but emphasise the short duration of this effect (<1 week). As the procedure is so labour intensive, further studies are needed to identify the high risk pregnancies, to determine the optimal time for intervention and to assess the success of this approach.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Background: Maternal mortality in Indonesia is caused by multifactors that are both direct and indirect factors. Complications during pregnancy and after delivery, including preeclampsia is the direct cause of 90% of maternal deaths. This case report aimed to describe the anaesthesia management on the incidence of severe preeclampsia to prevent the complications. Subjects and Method: We reported a 33-year-old G3P2A0 woman with 33 weeks of gestational age, diagnosed with severe pre-eclampsia partial HELLP syndrome, fetal dis-tress, type II diabetes mellitus pro SCTP emergency with physical status ASA II. Regional anaesthesia with sub-arachnoid block was performed by using Lidodex 75 mg and fentanyl 25 mcg intrathecally. Results: From the operation process, a baby boy with birth weight 2.900 gram and APGAR Score 7-8-9 was born. Two-hour post operation examination on patient showed compos mentis (consciousness), blood pressure 121/ 80 mmHg, heart rate 64 bpm, respiration rate 20 breath per minute, blood oxygen saturation levels (SpO2) 99% with 3 L/min nasal cannula. Patient was administered to HCU post operation to be monitored vital sign and signs of impending eclampsia. Post-operative refeeding was performed after bowel sound was positive. Conclusion: Selection of appropriate anaesthetic management in severe preeclampsia cases can prevent complications.
