 Posted: Thu Oct 23, 2008 5:05 pm Post subject: Elective caesarean section |
 |
|
I am trying to do an audit on caesarean section. I am trying to find definition of elective caesarean section. Acc to NICE C section audit we divide in 4 categories
1 immediate threat to the life of the woman or fetus
2 maternal or fetal compromise which is not immediately life-threatening
3 no maternal or fetal compromise but needs early delivery
4 delivery timed to suit woman or staff.
which of these categories is elective section OR
how do u define elective caesarean? |

Thanks for reply.
Does anyone know what criteria is considered in recent NHS Maternity statistics 2006-7 as they have divided in elective and emergency? |
