Emergency cesarean delivery: special precautions

Joey E Tyner et al. Obstet Gynecol Clin North Am. 2013 Mar.

Abstract

An emergent cesarean delivery is performed to immediately intervene to improve maternal or fetal outcome for such indications as fetal distress, prolapsed cord, maternal hemorrhage from previa or trauma, uterine rupture, and complete placental abruption. It is paramount to reduce morbidity and mortality by preparing health care providers for special precautions.
