Abstract
Objective: To determine the mean time for decision-to-incision in¬terval for emergency caesarean section, the contributing factors for delay and the outcome at Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology Dr. Moh. Hoesin Hospital, Palembang.
Methods: The study was conducted on 555 patients who met our study inclusion criteria at our maternity unit There was 1748 deli¬veries in six months and the rate of caesarean section was approxi¬mately 37.9% (6.1% elective). An emergency caesarean section was defined as non-elective or non-scheduled cases.
Result: In this study, there was 355 emergency caesarean sections, and the mean time from decision-to-incision was 83.9±41.6 minutes. The time interval reached 30 minutes in only 8 women (2.2%). Most cases have time interval 61-90 minutes (41.1%). The main sources of delay were patient's preparations, transfer of women to the oper-ating theatre, operating theatre preparations and the start of anes¬thesia administration. The most common indication for emergency caesarean sections were dystocia, bleeding from placenta previa or placental abruption, premature rupture of membrane and fetal dis¬tress. There were significant differences in the proportion of babies born with 1 minute Apgar score
