Question

What do you do when there are an overabundance of C-Sections performed? How would you dig into that data to determine if they were necessary?

Answer 1

Ans) C-section is the surgical delivery of a baby that involves making incisions in the mother's abdominal wall and uterus. Generally considered safe, C-sections do have more risks than vaginal births. Plus, moms can go home sooner and recover quicker after a vaginal delivery.

- But C-sections can help women who are at risk for complications avoid dangerous delivery-room situations and can be a lifesaver in an emergency.

- C-sections are done by obstetricians (doctors who care for pregnant women before, during, and after birth) and some family physicians. Although more and more women are choosing midwives to deliver their babies, midwives of any licensing degree cannot perform C-sections.

- Some C-sections are scheduled if the doctor knows that a vaginal birth would be risky. A doctor may schedule one if:

The baby is in breech (feet- or bottom-first) or transverse (sideways) position in the womb (although some babies can be turned before labor begins or delivered vaginally using special techniques)
the baby has certain birth defects (such as severe hydrocephalus)
the mother has problems with the placenta, such as placenta previa (when the placenta sits too low in the uterus and covers the cervix)
the mother has a medical condition that could make a vaginal delivery risky for herself or the baby (such as HIV or an active case of genital herpes)
some multiple pregnancies
the mother previously had surgery on her uterus or an earlier C-section (although many such women can safely have a vaginal birth after a C-section, called a VBAC)
