RCOG/NICE guidelines recommend that, for fetal compromise in labour, delivery should be accomplished ideally within 30 minutes. In this study, we investigated the factors which affect the decision-to-delivery (DD) intervals for emergency caesareans. To achieve this, prospective data were collected for all grade 1 and 2 caesareans performed on a busy labour ward over 12 months. We found that the ratio of labouring women to midwives had a significant effect on the DD intervals, which were significantly prolonged when 1 : 1 care was not provided (P < 0.001). The observed effect resulted exclusively from a prolonged transfer time to theatre. General anesthesia use shortened the DD interval for grade 1 caesareans (P < 0.001) and was more likely to be used during the day shift (P < 0.009). We conclude that midwifery staffing levels and the form of anaesthesia employed influence on DD intervals for the most urgent caesarean sections.
英国皇家妇产科医师学院/英国国家卫生与临床优化研究所指南建议,对于分娩时出现胎儿窘迫的情况,理想情况下应在30分钟内完成分娩。在本研究中,我们调查了影响急诊剖宫产决定至分娩(DD)间隔时间的因素。为实现这一目标,我们收集了12个月内在一个繁忙的产科病房进行的所有1级和2级剖宫产的前瞻性数据。我们发现,待产妇女与助产士的比例对DD间隔时间有显著影响,当未提供1:1护理时,DD间隔时间会显著延长(P<0.001)。观察到的影响完全是由于转送至手术室的时间延长所致。全身麻醉的使用缩短了1级剖宫产的DD间隔时间(P<0.001),且在白班期间更有可能使用(P<0.009)。我们得出结论,助产士人员配备水平和所采用的麻醉方式会影响最紧急剖宫产的DD间隔时间。
