Elective vs Emergency C-Section Outcomes and Prognosis on Maternal & Neonatal Health
Liyana Mohamad Ali
Abstract: This study aimed to compare the maternal and neonatal outcomes of elective versus emergency caesarean sections. Using a retrospective analysis of medical records and literature, the research hypothesised that maternal and neonatal morbidity is higher in caesarean sections than in vaginal deliveries, with more complications expected in emergency procedures. The results suggest that emergency caesarean sections are associated with a higher risk of maternal and neonatal morbidity, particularly concerning postoperative complications such as infections and haemorrhage. The findings underscore the need for careful consideration when deciding on the mode of delivery, emphasising the benefits of elective procedures when possible.
