Comparative StudyAudit of 'crash' emergency caesarean sections due to cord prolapse in terms of response time and perinatal outcome.
The objective was to audit 'crash' emergency caesarean sections (CS) with respect to response time (the diagnosis to delivery interval [DDI]) and perinatal outcome. ⋯ Three-quarters of our 'crash' emergency CS for cord prolapse were performed within 30 minutes with a good perinatal outcome. However, we have identified areas for improvement to optimise further the operational efficiency of 'crash' emergency CS.
