چکیده
We conducted a retrospective analysis of neonatal resuscitation following âlow riskâ caesarean delivery over a 12-month period from 1st July 2001 to 30th June 2002. An SHO attends all such births to receive and assess the baby and resuscitate if required. Attendance at deliveries takes precedence over other responsibilities. The midwife present is fully trained in neonatal resuscitation. The attending SHO spends an average of 20 to 30 minutes in the operating theatre per caesarean section.
