NCT ID NCT02314078

First seen Aug 06, 2026 · Last updated Aug 07, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study reviews records from a Singapore hospital to see how quickly emergency (category-1) C-sections are performed, aiming for a 30-minute window from decision to delivery. It includes 390 cases from 2010 to 2013 and looks at the time taken, the use of general anesthesia, and newborn health outcomes. The goal is to identify any delays and improve emergency care for mothers and babies.

What this could lead to
If the audit reveals delays, it could lead to faster emergency C-sections, potentially improving outcomes for mothers and babies.
What could go wrong
This is a retrospective audit, not a trial of a new treatment, so it cannot prove what works. It only describes past practice and may not reflect current standards.
