Caesarean Section (CS) in Nigeria: Emergency vs. Elective – Which is Safer?

🔥 Caesarean Section (CS) in Nigeria: Emergency vs. Elective – Which is Safer? 🔥 In this video, we break down a 5-year study from Sacred Heart Hospital, Obudu, Nigeria, analyzing Caesarean section (CS) deliveries—comparing emergency and elective cases. Discover the reasons for CS, risks, and outcomes for mothers and babies. 📊 Key Findings: ✔ CS Rate: 18.1% (453 out of 2,445 births) ✔ Emergency CS: 74.6% (higher risks for mom & baby) ✔ Elective CS: 25.6% (better outcomes overall) ⚠ Top Reasons for Emergency CS: Cephalo-Pelvic Disproportion (CPD) – Baby too big for mom’s pelvis (16.9%) Obstructed Labour – Baby stuck during birth (16%) Breech Presentation – Baby positioned feet-first ✅ Main Reason for Elective CS: Previous CS (50.4%) – Many moms who had a CS before opted for another ⚡ Maternal & Baby Outcomes: Emergency CS had more complications: Postpartum bleeding, infections, longer hospital stays, and even 4 maternal deaths. Babies from emergency CS had more issues: Low Apgar scores, jaundice, infections, and higher need for special care. Elective CS was safer, with fewer complications for both mother and child. 💡 Why This Matters: This study highlights the importance of early detection and proper maternity care to reduce emergency CS cases and improve safety. Planned CS leads to better health outcomes compared to last-minute emergency surgeries. 🔔 Subscribe for more health insights! 👍 Like & Share to spread awareness! 💬 Comment below: What do you think can be done to reduce emergency CS rates? #CaesareanSection #MaternalHealth #ChildbirthSafety #NigeriaHealthcare #Obstetrics #WomenHealth #NewbornCare #medicalresearch #CSectionAwareness #MaternalHealthMatters #SafeDelivery #NigeriaHealthcare //////////////////////////////////////// Markers and the Materno-Foetal Result of Caesarean Section: A Study at the Secondary Health Facility in Obudu, Cross River State, Nigeria Layman's Abstract: A Caesarean section (CS) is a surgery where a baby is delivered through cuts made in the mother’s belly and womb. It’s done when a normal birth is too risky for the mother or baby. There are two types: elective (planned in advance) and emergency (done suddenly due to complications during labor). This study looked at CS deliveries at Sacred Heart Hospital in Nigeria over five years. Out of 2,445 births, 453 were CS—giving a CS rate of 18%. Most (75%) were emergency cases, while 25% were planned. The main reasons for emergency CS were: The baby being too big for the mother’s pelvis (CPD) The baby getting stuck during labor (obstructed labour) The baby being in the wrong position (breech) For planned CS, the most common reason was that the mother had a previous CS. Key Findings: Mothers and babies had better outcomes with planned CS compared to emergency CS. Emergency CS had more complications like heavy bleeding, infections, longer hospital stays, and even maternal death (4 cases). Babies born through emergency CS were more likely to have low Apgar scores (a measure of health at birth), infections, jaundice, or need special care. Why It Matters: CS is a lifesaving procedure, but emergency cases are riskier. This study shows the importance of proper planning and timely medical care to reduce complications for both mothers and babies. The findings can help doctors and hospitals improve maternity care, especially in areas where emergency CS rates are high.
