Abstract


To study the complications of newborns related to caesarean sections, through a review of indications and details of complications occurring in newborns. This was a retrospective and descriptive study. A search of hospital records identified 3500 cases that underwent caesarean sections during 2017–2018. Newborn complications arising from the caesarean sections, and other relevant details were recorded. Neonatal complications were 49.23% (1723/3500). Bruises (a region of injured tissue or skin in which blood capillaries have been ruptured) (11.65%), jaundice (18.29%) and hypoglycaemia (11.91%) were the most common complications of the neonates. In summary, foetal complications were jaundice, transient tachypnea, hypoglycaemia and bruises. As the rate of caesarean sections continues to increase and is difficult to control, unnecessary caesarean section should be reduced and obstetricians must be well trained in performing caesarean sections to reduce neonatal complications.
