(1) The authors conclude that, at cesarean delivery, high-dose oxytocin more effectively prevents uterine atony than low-dose oxytocin.

(2) Similarly, if the physician believes that performing a cesarean delivery would be detrimental to the overall health and welfare of the woman and her fetus, he or she is ethically obliged to refrain from performing the surgery.

(3) If a decision is made to perform a cesarean delivery in the presence of suspected macrosomia, the incision should be large enough to avoid a difficult abdominal delivery.

(4) Her cervix would have shut down at 6 centimeters, and she would eventually have had a cesarean .

(5) Women who deliver vaginally in their first pregnancy are at much lower risk of requiring a cesarean delivery during a future pregnancy.

(6) The authors' results confirm the observations from epidemiologic studies that cesarean delivery has a protective effect against pelvic organ prolapse and incontinence later in life.

(7) Giving birth is dangerous: after 24 hours of labor in one of the best maternity wards in the country, I had a cesarean .

(8) If a pregnant woman has symptoms indicating an active infection (primary or recurrent) at the time of delivery, the baby usually can be protected from infection by a cesarean delivery.

(9) Colonization of the mother is not an indication for cesarean delivery, and cesarean delivery is not an alternative to intrapartum antibiotic prophylaxis.

(10) When possible, vaginal delivery is preferable to avoid the added physiologic stressors of cesarean delivery.

(11) It can get chaotic, and mother might end up breathing through an oxygen mask, changing position, or even having a cesarean .

(12) In addition, randomized clinical trial results have not shown the clinical effectiveness of prophylactic cesarean delivery when any specific estimated fetal weight is unknown.

(13) It may be due to chance, or it could reflect babies forced out of their mothers' wombs early by induction or elective cesarean .

(14) Patients with wound separation after cesarean delivery or benign abdominal gynecologic procedures were randomized to treatment or placebo groups.

(15) Presentation of this information might cause some patients to forgo vacuum or forceps attempts and proceed directly to cesarean delivery.

(16) Because cesarean delivery is a major surgical procedure, it carries the risks posed by any other major surgery, such as infection or complications from the anesthetic.

(17) Infection rates are higher in women who have cesarean deliveries; evidence is inconsistent about the effects of labor induction on infection rates.

(18) The authors conclude that risk factors for surgical site infection following cesarean delivery are infection before surgery, obesity, nulliparity, preeclampsia and poor general health.

(19) Mothers with a previous cesarean delivery related to breech presentation had a cesarean delivery rate of 13.9 percent, almost equivalent to the rate in nulliparous patients.

(20) Wall and colleagues studied the rate of postoperative wound complications with transverse and vertical incisions in obese women who were undergoing their first cesarean delivery.
