Factors associated these intervals were also investigated. Methods: Data retrospectively collected from all emergency deliveries 2021. Maternal demographic data, procedure characteristics analyzed according DDI groups; more Time different stages related factors analyzed. Results: A total 115 cases included analysis mean 40.1 Only 24/115 (20.9%) had less. surgical similar between 2 groups, there no proportion acidosis, low Apgar score, intubation, NICU admission umbilical cord pH base excess. Regression demonstrated that level surgeon’s experience, operations during normal working hours CS bradycardia significantly shorter DDI. Experienced surgeon unscarred uterus incision interval. Conclusions: The is not significant adverse outcomes. Despite so, identifying influencing still an important aspect constant work improve obstetric service.
