Why is CS done as emergency, in spite of anticipating normal delivery ?
Many a times, the doctor tells the patient that she will deliver normally, but she has to undergo an emergency CS. Why does this happen? During antenatal check-ups & at USG exams it is not possible to diagnose cord round neck or true knot in the cord. Babies with such complications start getting heart rate variations during labour & hence emergency CS has to be done. Post maturity, decrease in the quantity of liquor, are also some examples where CS has to be done. Delivery is a dynamic process exerting lot of stress on the mother & the baby. Many unexpected problems may crop up & endanger the life of -ne baby &/or mother. At the time of emergency CS, the relatives need to comply & cc-operate with the doctor so that the CS is done as early as possible to save the baby. Many important things like booking the blood for the patient, calling the anaesthetist immediately have to be done within very limited time.
