Neonatal Outcome in Cases of Cesarean Section after Diagnosis of Fetal Distress

To determine the early neonatal outcomes of babies delivered by cesarean section because of clinical diagnosis of fetal distress (using intermittent auscultation). . Study design: A prospective study design was used. Materials and method-A prospective observational study was conducted in obstetrics and gynaecology department of in our hospital. The inclusion criteria-Full term pregnant Patients undergoing cesarean section for fetal distress, Live singleton pregnancy. Exclusion criteria- Multifetal gestation, Preterm patients, Malpresentation. Results- There was no significant differences between the cases and controls in terms of age, parity, booking status, and birth weight of the babies (pgreater than0.05). Hypertensive groups and cord problems led to fetal distress in 69 % of cases. Rest of the cases did not have any obvious etiological factor. Hypertensive group leads to IUGR. Inpite of fetal tachycardia, bradycardia or passage of meconium 90 % of neonates cried well at birth and had APGAR score greater than7. Conclusion: Early diagnosis and timely cesarean section in case of fetal distress decreases perinatal morbidity and mortality
