BackgroundMode of delivery may affect the risk of asthma but the findings have not been consistent and factors shared by siblings may confound the associations in previous studies.MethodsThe association between mode of delivery and dispensed inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) (a marker of asthma) was examined in a register based national cohort (n=199 83...

If success rate of external cephalic version (ECV) increases, the rate of primary caesarean sections -declines. The aims of this retrospective cohort study were to evaluate the ECV and to identify factors associated with the success rate of ECV for breech presentation at term. The second aim of this study was to analyse the outcome of labour of all...

An increasing number of deliveries in the UK are performed by caesarean section. The technique has changed very little over the years but safety rates have improved greatly, mainly due to improved pre-operative planning. There is widespread debate regarding the benefits of caesarean section compared with vaginal delivery. Guidance from the UK Natio...

Background: The incidence of caesarean section for breech presentation has reached approximately 90 % in Sweden. In many of these cases, by means of specific selection criteria, it would be as safe to plan for vaginal breech delivery. Aim: The objective of this study was to investigate differences in management and to compare maternal and fetal o...

The high prevalence of postpartum depression (PPD) (rates between 10-20% in developed countries) and its serious consequences for both women and children, highlight the need to continue studying the factors affecting DPP. Many studies have looked for factors related to this disorder, but none has carried out a comprehensive analysis to find out its...

The Airway Scope™, a novel videolaryngoscope used for tracheal intubation, is minimally invasive and can be used in conscious patients. The parturient with a potentially difficult airway should sometimes be intubated while awake, without anaesthesia or neuromuscular block. Two pregnant women who experienced massive postpartum haemorrhage during cae...

This paper demonstrates the feasibility of health services research in an unstable environment during the transition from crisis to development and its importance for future planning. Effectiveness and the cost of caesarean sections (CSs) were investigated in Bunia, a town affected by conflict and insecurity, in the Democratic Republic of the Congo...

In spinal anaesthesia for caesarean section, using low-dose levobupivacaine in combination with fentanyl elicits effective sensorial blockade and less motor blockade with similar haemodynamic and neonatal effects than usage of low-dose bupivacaine in combination with fentanyl.

Ischaemia-modified albumin (IMA) is an early marker for various ischaemic events, including cardiac ischaemia. This study determined variations in IMA levels during caesarean section, performed under general anaesthesia or with combined spinal epidural anaesthesia. Full-term, healthy pregnant women were allocated to undergo caesarean section, using...
