| Summary: | Objectives: To evaluate the indications and feto-maternal outcomes of Robson’s group 1cases undergoing caesarean
section. Materials and methods: A time bound, prospective and observational study conducted from 1stJuly 2021 to
30th June 2022 at Gauhati Medical College and Hospital. All nulliparous women, singleton pregnancy, cephalic
presentation, gestational age of more than or equal to 37 weeks with spontaneous onset of labour (Robson’s group1)
undergoing caesarean section were recruited in the study. Results: During this period, there were 15,859 deliveries,
among them 7,024 were born by caesarean section out of which 1,636 belonged to Robson’s group 1. The most
common indication of caesarean section was meconium stained liquor (24.7%) and the least common was precious
pregnancy (2.1%). In intra-operative maternal complications, most common was atonic postpartum haemorrhage
(10.3%), the least common being fetal scalp injury (0.5%). In immediate maternal complications, most common was
spinal headache (12.9%) and the least common was atelectasis and thromboembolic event (1.5% each). In early
maternal complication, most common was surgical site infection (11.3%) and the least common was lower respiratory
tract infection (4.1%). Regarding fetal complications, 19.1% had hyperbilirubinemia and still births were
2.6%.Conclusion: Patients who are in spontaneous labour should undergo caesarean section only for absolute
indications for better recovery of the mother and fetus. It is the need of the hour to intervene and decrease the
caesarean section rate especially in Robson’s group 1 which will lead to reduction in primary and further subsequent
caesarean section rates. |
