Archana Goyal

Background: The present study was conducted for evaluating the prevalence of complications of Caesarean section delivery. Materials & methods: There were two hundred participants registered who were scheduled for Caesarean section. All of the subjects' full clinical and demographic information was gathered. Every subject's complete medical history was documented. All the pertinent information was recorded and a performa was created. Every patient's baseline biochemical and hemodynamic parameters were noted. Under combination spinal-epidural anesthesia, all Caesarean sections were carried out. A continuous patient monitoring program was implemented. Any complications were noted individually and examined. With the aid of SPSS software, all the results were evaluated. Results: Overall complications were seen in 14 percent of the patients. Transient Tachypnea of the Newborn, Respiratory distress syndrome, Labor injuries, NICU admission, Muscle pain, Infection, Fever and Abnormal bleeding was seen in 3.5 percent, 2.5 percent, 2 percent, 1 percent, 2 percent, 3 percent, 1.5 percent and 2.5 percent of the patients respectively. Conclusion: The surgical process of a cesarean section carries a number of risks for the mother and the unborn child. Because of this, a cesarean section should be used with caution and cannot be seen as a substitute for a natural birth.
