I. Introduction

The rate of cesarean sections around the world is increasing at an "alarming"


rate, reported an international team of doctors, Since 1985, the international
health care community has considered the ideal rate for cesarean sections to be
between 10-15%. Since then, cesarean sections have become increasingly
common in both developed and developing countries. When medically
necessary, a Caesarean section can effectively prevent maternal and newborn
mortality. Two new HRP studies show that when cesarean section rates rise
towards 10% across a population, the number of maternal and newborn deaths
decreases. When the rate goes above 10%, there is no evidence that mortality
rates improve.
(https://www.who.int/reproductivehealth/topics/maternal_perinatal/cs-
statement/en/)
Among the total number of deliveries handled and admitted, 86% delivered
by NSD and 14% by Caesarean Section. Of all those delivered through NSD,
52% (N=1358) were with High Risk conditions. High risk condition was based on
the WHO High Risk coding for pregnant women.
CS rate is 14%, this is higher than the acceptable level of 3-4% based on
Western Standards, as per FOGS indicator their acceptable level is 15%.
(http://lpghstc.doh.gov.ph/index.php/statistics)
The risk of cesarean birth was greater in a private facility than in a
government hospital by 36–4. Regional gradients in cesarean birth were found to
be steeper for deliveries in private facilities than in government hospitals in
Philippines. the residents of the Philippine's medium ‐use provinces, giving birth in
a government facility increased the likelihood of a cesarean delivery by 84
percent and by 173 percent in a private facility.(Regional Gradients in

V. DEFINITION OF COMPLETE DIAGNOSIS

Caesarean delivery (also called a caesarean section or C-section)


is the surgical delivery of a baby by an incision through the mother's
abdomen (belly) and uterus (womb). This procedure is done when it is
determined to be a safer method than a vaginal delivery for the mother,
baby, or both.
In a caesarean delivery, an incision (cut) is made in the skin and
into the uterus at the lower part of the mother’s abdomen. The incision in
the skin may be vertical (longitudinal) or transverse (horizontal), and the
incision in the uterus may be vertical or transverse.
A transverse incision extends across the pubic hairline, whereas, a
vertical incision extends from the navel to the pubic hairline. A transverse
uterine incision is used most often, because it heals well and there is less
bleeding. Transverse uterine incisions also increase the chance for
vaginal birth in a future pregnancy. However, the type of incision depends
on the conditions of the mother and the fetus.

13
PRETERM LABOR AT CESARIAN
SECTION

There are two main techniques that doctors nowadays use to


perform C-sections:
Transverse C-Section Steps
The transverse incision is a horizontal cut across the mother's
abdomen, and the classic C-section is a vertical cut down the mother's
abdomen. Of the two, the transverse incision is usually preferred due to a
lower chance of blood loss and quicker healing. In this procedure, the
doctor makes a horizontal incision across the mother's abdominal muscles
- below the curve of the belly but above the bladder. If you think about the
location of a bikini, the incision would be made right above the bikini line,
like this:
Location of a transverse incision.

Next, another identical incision is made through the uterine wall.
Classic C-Section Steps
Delivery of a baby through C-section
C Section Birth
In the classic C-section, a vertical incision is made down the center
of the mother's belly. Just like in the transverse procedure, the first incision
cuts through the tissue and the muscle, and then a second incision is
made through the uterine wall.

VI. ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY

Vagina

14
PRETERM LABOR AT CESARIAN
SECTION

The vagina is a muscular, hollow tube that extends from the vaginal
opening to the cervix of the uterus. It is situated between the urinary bladder and
the rectum. It is about three to five inches long in a grown woman. The muscular
wall allows the vagina to expand and contract. The muscular walls are lined with
mucous membranes, which keep it protected and moist. A thin sheet of tissue
with one or more holes in it, called the hymen, partially covers the opening of the
vagina. The vagina receives sperm during sexual intercourse from the penis. The
sperm that survive the acidic condition of the vagina continue on through to the
fallopian tubes where fertilization may occur.
The vagina is made up of three layers, an inner mucosal layer, a middle
muscularis layer, and an outer fibrous layer. The inner layer is made of vaginal
rugae that stretch and allow penetration to occur. These also help with
stimulation of the penis. The middle layer has glands that secrete an acidic
mucus (pH of around 4.0.) that keeps bacterial growth down. The outer muscular
layer is especially important with delivery of a fetus and placenta.
 Purposes of the Vagina
 Receives a males erect penis and semen during sexual intercourse.
 Pathway through a woman's body for the baby to take during childbirth.
 Provides the route for the menstrual blood (menses) from the uterus, to
leave the body.
 May hold forms of birth control, such as a diaphragm, FemCap, Nuva Ring,
or female condom.

15
PRETERM LABOR AT CESARIAN
SECTION
The cervix (from Latin "neck") is the lower, narrow portion of the uterus
where it joins with the top end of the vagina. Where they join together forms an
almost 90 degree curve. It is cylindrical or conical in shape and protrudes through
the upper anterior vaginal wall. Approximately half its length is visible with
appropriate medical equipment; the remainder lies above the vagina beyond
view. It is occasionally called "cervix uteri", or "neck of the uterus".
During menstruation, the cervix stretches open slightly to allow the endometrium
to be shed. This stretching is believed to be part of the cramping pain that many
women experience. Evidence for this is given by the fact that some women's
cramps subside or disappear after their first vaginal birth because the cervical
opening has widened.
The portion projecting into the vagina is referred to as the portio vaginalis
or ectocervix. On average, the ectocervix is three cm long and two and a half cm
wide. It has a convex, elliptical surface and is divided into anterior and posterior
lips. The ectocervix's opening is called the external os. The size and shape of the
external os and the ectocervix varies widely with age, hormonal state, and
whether the woman has had a vaginal birth. In women who have not had a
vaginal birth the external os appears as a small, circular opening. In women who
have had a vaginal birth, the ectocervix appears bulkier and the external os
appears wider, more slit-like and gaping.
The passageway between the external os and the uterine cavity is
referred to as the endocervical canal. It varies widely in length and width, along
with the cervix overall. Flattened anterior to posterior, the endocervical canal
measures seven to eight mm at its widest in reproductive-aged women. The
endocervical canal terminates at the internal os which is the opening of the cervix
inside the uterine cavity.
During childbirth, contractions of the uterus will dilate the cervix up to 10
cm in diameter to allow the child to pass through. During orgasm, the cervix
convulses and the external os dilates.
The uterus is shaped like an upside-down pear, with a thick lining and muscular
walls. Located near the floor of the pelvic cavity, it is hollow to allow a blastocyte,

16
PRETERM LABOR AT CESARIAN
SECTION
or fertilized egg, to implant and grow. It also allows for the inner lining of the
uterus to build up until a fertilized egg is implanted, or it is sloughed off during
menses.
The uterus contains some of the strongest muscles in the female body.
These muscles are able to expand and contract to accommodate a growing fetus
and then help push the baby out during labor. These muscles also contract
rhythmically during an orgasm in a wave like action. It is thought that this is to
help push or guide the sperm up the uterus to the fallopian tubes where
fertilization may be possible.
The uterus is only about three inches long and two inches wide, but during
pregnancy it changes rapidly and dramatically. The top rim of the uterus is called
the fundus and is a landmark for many doctors to track the progress of a
pregnancy. The uterine cavity refers to the fundus of the uterus and the body of
the uterus.
Helping support the uterus are ligaments that attach from the body of the
uterus to the pelvic wall and abdominal wall. During pregnancy the ligaments
prolapse due to the growing uterus, but retract after childbirth. In some cases
after menopause, they may lose elasticity and uterine prolapse may occur. This
can be fixed with surgery.
Some problems of the uterus include uterine fibroids, pelvic pain (including
endometriosis, adenomyosis), pelvic relaxation (or prolapse), heavy or abnormal
menstrual bleeding, and cancer. It is only after all alternative options have been
considered that surgery is recommended in these cases. This surgery is called
hysterectomy. Hysterectomy is the removal of the uterus, and may include the
removal of one or both of the ovaries. Once performed it is irreversible. After a
hysterectomy, many women begin a form of alternate hormone therapy due to
the lack of ovaries and hormone production.
At the upper corners of the uterus are the fallopian tubes. There are two
fallopian tubes, also called the uterine tubes or the oviducts. Each fallopian tube
attaches to a side of the uterus and connects to an ovary. They are positioned
between the ligaments that support the uterus. The fallopian tubes are about four

17
PRETERM LABOR AT CESARIAN
SECTION
inches long and about as wide as a piece of spaghetti. Within each tube is a tiny
passageway no wider than a sewing needle. At the other end of each fallopian
tube is a fringed area that looks like a funnel. This fringed area, called the
infundibulum, lies close to the ovary, but is not attached. The ovaries alternately
release an egg. When an ovary does ovulate, or release an egg, it is swept into
the lumen of the fallopian tube by the fimbriae.
Once the egg is in the fallopian tube, tiny hairs in the tube's lining help
push it down the narrow passageway toward the uterus. The oocyte, or
developing egg cell, takes four to five days to travel down the length of the
fallopian tube. If enough sperm are ejaculated during sexual intercourse and
there is an oocyte in the fallopian tube, fertilization will occur. After fertilization
occurs, the zygote, or fertilized egg, will continue down to the uterus and implant
itself in the uterine wall where it will grow and develop.
If a zygote doesn't move down to the uterus and implants itself in the
fallopian tube, it is called a ectopic or tubal pregnancy. If this occurs, the
pregnancy will need to be terminated to prevent permanent damage to the
fallopian tube, possible haemorrhage and possible death of the mother.

Mammary glands are the organs that produce milk for the sustenance of
a baby. These exocrine glands are enlarged and modified sweat glands.
The basic components of the mammary gland are the alveoli (hollow cavities, a
few millimetres large) lined with milk-secreting epithelial cells and surrounded by
myoepithelial cells. These alveoli join up to form groups known as lobules, and

18
PRETERM LABOR AT CESARIAN
SECTION
each lobule has a lactiferous duct that drains into openings in the nipple. The
myoepithelial cells can contract, similar to muscle cells, and thereby push the
milk from the alveoli through the lactiferous ducts towards the nipple, where it
collects in widenings (sinuses) of the ducts. A suckling baby essentially squeezes
the milk out of these sinuses.
The development of mammary glands is controlled by hormones. The
mammary glands exist in both sexes, but they are rudimentary until puberty when
- in response to ovarian hormones - they begin to develop in the female.
Estrogen promotes formation, while testosterone inhibits it.
At the time of birth, the baby has lactiferous ducts but no alveoli. Little branching
occurs before puberty when ovarian estrogens stimulate branching differentiation
of the ducts into spherical masses of cells that will become alveoli. True
secretory alveoli only develop in pregnancy, where rising levels of estrogen and
progesterone cause further branching and differentiation of the duct cells,
together with an increase in adipose tissue and a richer blood flow.
Colostrum is secreted in late pregnancy and for the first few days after
giving birth. True milk secretion (lactation) begins a few days later due to a
reduction in circulating progesterone and the presence of the hormone prolactin.
The suckling of the baby causes the release of the hormone oxytocin which
stimulates contraction of the myoepithelial cells.
The cells of mammary glands can easily be induced to grow and multiply by
hormones. If this growth runs out of control, cancer results. Almost all
instances of breast cancer originate in the lobules or ducts of the mammary
glands.

These are the main muscles employed to do sit-ups (rectus). The two
muscles meet in the midline where they are sometimes fused but quite often,
however, they are separated as the result of the stretching from the distended
uterus. These muscles are now separated (without cutting them) and pulled to
the sides to create a space between them.

XIV. LEVELS OF PREVENTION


Primary
Patient should include preconception education, public and professional
policies (eg, paid pregnancy leave), nutritional supplements, and smoking
cessation. Public education efforts must stress that the problems of preterm
infants have not been solved even though neonatal care has improved.
Secondary
Patient should efforts are directed at women with known risk
of preterm birth or other risk factors. Preconception interventions are based on
a history of preterm birth, with risk of recurrence increased for spontaneous and
indicated preterm births.
Tertiary
Tertiary measures are aimed as the interventions, such as
regionalised care, and treatment with antenatal corticosteroids, tocolytic agents,
and antibiotics.
