Common Surgical Procedure For Women

Childbirth is one of the greatest privileges on the earth anyone could have and we, as women, should feel proud to be major contributors for it. Thus, a mother has to play a key role in aiding the healthcare workers to mitigate the health crisis associated with childbirth by performing her duties faithfully. One such associated health crisis is “Premature (preterm) birth” which occurs when the baby is born too early, before 37 weeks of gestational period (CDC, 2015). The rate of preterm birth ranges from 5% to 18% of babies born across 184 countries (WHO, 2015).

Johnson et al. emphasize lower cesarean section rates of physician-mothers under physician-induced demand (2). One reason concerns higher reimbursement of surgical births rather than vaginal deliveries, which functions as a non-medical factor. Financial incentives are imposed on uninformed patients so that cesarean deliveries become more frequent in the health environment. Despite the non-medical factors applying cesarean sections should be regarded in terms of maternal mortality and morbidity. In addition, performing the vaginal delivery safely could involve more resources and treatment of any arising complications during the birth. Patients’ knowledge about interventions could achieve larger cuts in cesarean section

The conclusion was ultimately reached that medical or elective induction of term women was associated with an increased risk of cesarean delivery and that estimate was determined heavily based on the Bishop Scores attained The study closes by advising that induction of labor, whether it is medical or electively induced, should be avoided because a low Bishop score means that the cervix is unripe and even with cervical ripening agents, the study showed that the risk of cesarean delivery for nulliparous women remained unchanged. Their advice is to allow the mothers to spontaneously go into labor if they have an unfavorable Bishop score because it will lower cesarean delivery rates (Vrouenraets et al. 2005). This rationale directly correlates

The author is a nurse in a level two trauma facility in a community of approximately fifty thousand people in Oregon. The community is a college-town surrounded by a large agricultural area. There is a minimal ethnic diversity within the community. The diversity present occurs mainly from internationally students and faculty from the college. There is a growing population of women who desire low interventional births in the community. The author has worked on the labor and delivery unit of the hospital for the last 14 years. The hospital is the only one in the area to offer trial of labor services to women who have previously undergone a cesarean section. The unit on average experiences around 1000 deliveries annually.

In 2006, data was collected on 303 babies who were diagnosed with anencephaly and were not terminated. Of those 303 babies, about 40% were born prematurely (before 37 weeks) and 4% beyond 42 weeks. Two-thirds of the mothers were either induced or had a planned cesarean section for those born at term. Polyhydramnios was present in 30% of the cases which accounted for 60% of those born prematurely. When delivered by cesarean section, 4% died during birth, 53% died within twenty-four hours, 30% lived up to five days, and 13% lived longer than six days. For vaginal births, 37% of babies died during birth when a doctor or midwife ruptured the amniotic bag, opposed to 18% if the amniotic bag ruptured naturally.

Does everybody think or feels the same about childbirth around the world? This question above is a question that has always been in my mind. Now that I got the opportunity of choosing a topic to do research. I decided to choose childbirth and culture. This research paper is going to talk about how different cultures and countries look a birth in an entirely different manner. Some look at birth as a battle and others as a struggle. And on some occasions, the pregnant mother could be known as unclean or in other places where the placenta is belief to be a guardian angel. These beliefs could be strange for us but for the culture in which this is being practiced is natural and a tradition. I am going to be introducing natural and c-section childbirth. And, the place of childbirth is going to be a topic in this essay. America is one country included in this research paper.

Furthermore, modern abortion procedures are extremely safe. So safe, in fact, that the risk of a woman dying from an abortion is less that one out of 100,000. On the other hand, the number of women who die during childbirth is 13.3 out of 100,000. Access to legal, professionally performed abortion reduces both injury and death caused by “back-alley” abortions. These back-alley abortions account for 68,000 maternal deaths a year in the 33 countries where abortion is either not legal, or unavailable (World Health Organization, Oct. 2006).

The intent of this paper is to examine effective solutions for reducing cesarean deliveries. Cesarean deliveries involve more risk to both the mother and baby than vaginal births do. Cesarean deliveries have a higher potential of complications than vaginal births. Cesarean deliveries cost more, require longer hospital stays, and require more resources—both human and systemic—than vaginal births.

Over the years birthing methods have changed a great deal. When technology wasn’t so advanced there was only one method of giving birth, vaginally non-medicated. However, in today’s society there are now more than one method of giving birth. In fact, there are three methods: Non-medicated vaginal delivery, medicated vaginal delivery and cesarean delivery, also known as c-section. In the cesarean delivery there is not much to prepare for before the operation, except maybe the procedure of the operation. A few things that will be discussed are: the process of cesarean delivery, reasons for this birthing method and a few reasons for why this birthing method is used. Also a question that many women have is whether or not they can vaginally

Due to cesarean section, it is proven that c-section birth causes infants to be at greater risk of developing a host of illnesses such as, asthma, type 1 diabetes, as they progress and grow older; As Australia has one of the highest c-section rates in the world with now at 32% of the population having a cesarean birth (s. McCulloch, 2018). Indigenous mothers are more likely to experience more long-term issues and even perinatal death compared to the 0.7% of non-aboriginal and non-Torres Strait islander mothers (The Department of Health, 2011).

A commonly known procedure when it comes to hospital births are epidurals. An epidural is an injection of a drug between the “epidural space” which causes

The model of care I observed at the hospital was the patient centered care model. The nurses worked with the patients, typically on a one-to-one nurse-patient ratio. The nurse helped and tended to the patient’s needs, drew her blood, inserted a catheter, and watched the monitors on the baby to ensure everything was going smoothly. It surprised me that a number of the patients I saw were being induced, and according to the nurses, a lot of patients have planned C-Sections. The two soon-to-be mothers that I encountered in the labor and delivery area were being induced. The first one was in the middle of the induction, and she had Pitocin already infusing when I got there, so her contractions were getting stronger. When she needed to use

Cesarean Operation also known as Cesarean Section goes way back to the 1500’s, when Julius Caesar was the first born child from a Cesarean operation according to historical myth. Unfortunately, his mother was already dead when the cesarean operation was performed. Cesarean Section was performed when the mother is dying or already dead by an incision in the abdominal area. “The operation was not intended to preserve the mother’s life”. Retrieved from “US National library of Medicine: Cesarean Section Retrieved from nlm.hih.gov”. In the Early History of Cesarean Section, some of its history information still remains a myth and Historians believed cesarean section happen before the 1500’s.

I was very surprised to learn that elective C-sections were actually something that was done. I had always just assumed that C-sections were only done in emergency situations/complications, when babies were breach, or if the mother had had prior C-sections. Women often choose an elective C-section because they think it is more convenient than waiting around for labor to occur on its own. Other mothers have the idea that it will be less painful or prevent tearing, sexual dysfunction, or other complications that go along with vaginal deliveries. In the film, they started talking about how women in New York were having C-sections and then tummy tucks immediately following. Many people do not consider a C-section a major surgery, but it really

Vaginal birth after caesarean (VBAC) is the name used for identifying the method of giving birth vaginally after previously delivering at least one baby through a caesarean section (CS). A trial of labour (TOL) is the term used to describe the process of attempting a VBAC. An elected repeat caesarean (ERC) is the other option for women who have had a caesarean in the past. The rates of women choosing to deliver by means of an ERC has been increasing in many countries, this is typically due to the common assumption that there are too many risks for the baby and mother (Knight, Gurol-Urganci, Van Der Meulen, Mahmood, Richmond, Dougall, & Cromwell, 2013). The success rate of VBAC lies in the range of 56 - 80%, a reasonably high success rate, however, the repeat caesarean birth rate has increased to 83% in Australia (Knight et al., 2013). It is essential to inform women of the contraindications, success criteria, risks, benefits, information on uterine rupture and the role of the midwife in relation to considering attempting a VBAC (Hayman, 2014). This information forms the basis of an antenatal class (Appendix 1) that provides the necessary information to women who are considering attempting a VBAC and can therefore enable them to make their own decision regarding the mode of birth.
