N2 - Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the decision to delivery interval (DDI) in our obstetric unit in comparison to current recommendations. Study design: A retrospective analysis of all non-elective cesarean sections during a 10 months period in a delivery ward of a university tertiary health care facility was performed. The DDI was compared between emergency and non-urgent cesarean sections. Results: The DDI was 25.8±10.8 and 46.2±19.9min in the emergency and non-urgent cesareans, respectively (P<0.01). In the emergency group, 71% delivered within 30min compared to 35% in the non-urgent group (P<0.05) and in the emergent-crash group 100% delivered within 30min compared to 59% in the emergent-non-crash group (P<0.05). No correlation was found between the DDI and umbilical artery pH or Apgar score at 1 or 5min in infants of each cesarean group. Conclusion: The proposed 30min DDI standard was achieved in 100, 71, 47 and 35% of emergent-crash, emergent, emergent-non-crash and non-urgent cesareans sections, respectively.
