    AbstractIn a series of 460 consecutive deliveries there were 55 caesarean sections (mainly under epidural anaesthesia) without evidence of fetal distress and with a cephalic presentation. There was no statistically significant difference in the frequency of resuscitation in this group compared with 296 spontaneous vertex deliveries. It is concluded that a paediatrician is not routinely required at caesarean section under epidural provided there is no fetal distress and the presentation is cephalic.
