Mangaluru: The second wave has seen an increase in the number of Caesar delivery (C-Section) at the Goschen Government Hospital here.
The hospital recorded a 4% increase in the delivery of C-section between April and July this year.
The hospital conducts an average of 450-500 shipping every month, and the number passes 600 in July.
Last October, the 800 delivery record was made.
Dr.
Durgaprasad M, a medical supervisor, said that from the total labor, a hospital usually recorded an average delivery of 20% C-Section.
However, the average delivery of C-section in this hospital is around 47%.
“Because this is also a tertiary referral hospital, we get some critical cases not only from the district, but also from other districts.
We pay attention to the number of C-section cases between April and July increased to 51%, especially because Covid-19 patients must enter For C-section.
However, there is now a downward trend in connection with the acceptance of Covid-19 patients, “he said.
Between April and July, total141 patients were tested positive for the SARS COV-2 virus, and from those 52 had normal delivery and 89 must enter For C-Section.
The highest number of C-part among Covid patients was recorded in May, at the age of 40, and in June, 26 women who tested torture for positive.
“It should be noted that only when there are indications for caesareans, that the doctor chooses therefore.
This is a observation.
The exact reason for the increase in the number of C-section delivery among patients Covid-19 has not been studied.
They may be low on immunity.
Interestingly, out of 141 shipments, only two newborns were tested positively, with one case each reported in May and July.
Newborns did not show symptoms, and were treated in Covid beds in the NICU.
Breastfeeding is permitted, and if all the parameters of the child are normal, and so the mother is declared suitable to be spent, the newborn baby also runs out after telling local ANM and medical officers from the main health center, “said Dr.
Durgaprasad.
