IntroductionCesarean delivery is defined as the delivery of a
fetus through surgical incisions made through both the abdominal
wall and the uterine wall. The words Cesarean and section are both
derived from verbs that mean to cut; the phrase caesarean section
is a tautology.Cesarean deliveries were initially performed to
separate the mother and the fetus in an attempt to save the fetus
of a moribund patient. This operation subsequently developed into a
surgical procedure to resolve maternal or fetal complications not
amenable to vaginal delivery.The caesarean delivery was evolved
from a vain attempt performed to save the fetus to one in which the
physician and patient both participate in the decision-making
process, striving to achieve the most benefit for the patient and
her unborn child. Currently, caesarean deliveries are performed for
a variety of fetal and maternal indications. The indications have
expanded to consider the patients wishes and preferences.There are
many reasons why a health care provider might feel that you need to
have a caesarean delivery. Some cesareans occur in critical
situations, some are used to prevent critical situations, and some
are elective. Some reasons that a caesarean section is needed:
placenta previa, uterine rupture, breech position, cord prolapsed,
fetal distress, and multiple births.

CHAPTER II ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY
The ovary is the organ that produces ova (singular, ovum), or
eggs. The two ovaries present in each female are held in place by
the following ligaments: The broad ligament is a section of the
peritoneum that drapes over the ovaries, uterus, ovarian ligament,
and suspensory ligament. It includes both the mesovarium and
mesometrium. The mesovarium is a fold of peritoneum that holds the
ovary in place. The suspensory ligament anchors the upper region of
the ovary to the pelvic wall. Attached to this ligament are blood
vessels and nerves, which enter the ovary at the hilus. The ovarian
ligament anchors the lower end of the ovary to the uterus.The
uterus (womb) is a hollow organ about the size and shape of a pear.
It serves two important functions: It is the organ of menstruation
and during pregnancy it receives the fertilized ovum, retains and
nourishes it until it expels the fetus during labor. The uterus is
located between the urinary bladder and the rectum. It is suspended
in the pelvis by broad ligaments.Division of uterus The uterus
consists of the body or corpus, fundus, cervix, and the isthmus.
The major portion of the uterus is called the body or corpus. The
fundus is the superior, rounded region above the entrance of the
fallopian tubes. The cervix is the narrow, inferior outlet that
protrudes into the vagina. The isthmus is the slightly constricted
portion that joins the corpus to the cervix.The walls of the uterus
The walls are thick and are composed of three layers: The
endometrium, the myometrium, and perimetrium. The endometrial is
the inner layer or mucosa. A fertilized egg burrows into
endometrium (implantation) and resides there for the rest of its
development. When the female is not pregnant the endometrial lining
sloughs off about every 28 days in response to the changes in
levels of hormones in the blood. This process is called menses. The
myometrium is the smooth muscle component of the wall. These smooth
muscle fivers are arranged. In longitudinal, circular, and spiral
patterns, and are interlaced with connective tissues. During the
monthly female cycles and during pregnancy, these layers undergo
extensive changes. The perimetrium is a strong, serous membrane
that coats the entire uterine corpus except the lower one fourth
and anterior surface where the bladder is attached. The cervix is a
narrow region at the bottom of the uterus that leads to the vagina.
The inside of the cervix, or cervical canal, opens to the uterus
above through the internal os and to the vagina below through the
external os. Cervical mucus secreted by the mucosa layer of the
cervical canal serves to protect against bacteria entering the
uterus from the vagina. If an oocyte is available for
fertilization, the mucus becomes thin and slightly alkaline. These
are attributes that promote the passage of sperm. At other times,
the mucus is viscous and impedes the passage of sperm.
CHAPTER IIIPATHOPHYSIOLOGYNARRATIVE:Cephalopelvic disproportion
(CPD) occurs when a babys head or body is too large to fit through
the mothers pelvis. It is believed that true CPD is rare, but many
cases of failure to progress during labor are given a diagnosis of
CPD. When anaccuratediagnosis of CPD has been made, the safest type
of delivery for mother and baby is a cesarean. The disorders
pathophysiological aspects include the mother being unable to birth
the child naturally due to the babys head being too large to fit
through the pelvis. This is a rare condition, and there are only
theories as to why this occurs. It is thought that the physiology
of the mother may have something to do with the condition. If a
mothers pelvis is abnormally shaped, this can happen. It can also
occur if the mother has a small pelvis. This may also occur if the
due date is long past and the baby is still growing, causing the
head to surpass the size of the pelvis.

CHAPTER IVPROCEDUREThe patient is brought to the operating room
per stretcher with an ongoing IVF of D5LRS at full level
accompanied by IWDO. She was transferred to the operating table,
placed in a supine position comfortably. She was attached to
cardiac monitor and prepared accordingly. A. AnesthesiaThe
anesthesia provider, typically an anesthesiologist or a nurse
anesthetist, will begin the surgery by giving a sedative by IV to
relax the patient. Once the patient is relaxed, a breathing tube,
or endotracheal tube, is threaded through the mouth and into the
windpipe before being connected to the ventilator. The breathing
tube is necessary because general anesthesia causes paralysis in
addition to rendering the patient unconscious. While paralyzed, the
patient cannot breathe without assistance and depends upon the
ventilator to supply air to the lungs. Subarachnoid Block (SAB) was
infiltrated at the lumbar area specifically T3 to T4 to locate the
cerebrospinal fluid by Dr. Macaballog. Once the anesthesia has
taken full effect, the surgeon can begin making the incision,
without the patient feeling pain or waking. During the surgery, the
patient will be closely monitored by the anesthesiologist, with the
vital signs being observed throughout the surgery and medications
given as needed.
B. PositionDuring caesarean section operation, patient will lie
on an operating table in supine position, which is tilted or wedged
to the left. It's tilted so the weight of your uterus doesn't
reduce the blood supply to the lungs and make the blood pressure
drop. Arms may be extended on arm-boards. Insertion of an
Indwelling Foley Catheter was inserted aseptically by the
circulating nurse.
C. Skin preparation Skin prep aids in preventing surgical site
infection (SSI) by removing debris from, and cleansing, the skin,
bringing the resident and transient microbes to an irreducible
minimum, and hindering the growth of microbes during the surgical
procedure. The skin prep agents should have the following
properties: fast-acting, persistent and cumulative actions, and
non-irritating. In cesarean section, skin preparation begins at the
incision site (infra umbilical vertical or low transverse)
extending from nipples to mid thighs, and down to the table at the
sides done by the circulating nurse.
D. DrapingThe skin is swabbed with a solution that kills germs
to help prevent infections along the incision. Once the skin is
prepared for surgery, the doctors will cover the patient with
sterile drapes to keep the area as clean as possible during the
procedure which were done by Dr. The patient is draped with folded
towels and a laparotomy (or transverse) sheet. An additional sheet
is needed to cover a second back table for the infant.
Discussion of the Procedure (Before and after the incision)The
cesarean operation and bilateral tubal ligation began with the
surgeon first making a horizontal incision by dissecting the
abdomen from the skin low across the belly. Vertical incisions
generally allow faster abdominal entry, cause less bleeding and
nerve injury, and can be easily extended cephalic and one of the
most procedures in skin incision used was a vertical incisions.
Before doing the operation the two surgeons draped the patient
exposing her umbilicus to the symphysis pubis and the surgeon
applied betadine solution on the incision site. Incision thru the
skin with skin knife (#3 scalpel handle with #10 blade).
Subcutaneous tissue and muscle tissue are incised with the deep
knife (#7 scalpel handle with #15 blade). Fascia is incised, and
the underlying muscles are retracted with bladder retractor and
richardson. The surgeon grasps the peritoneum with a thumb forcep
and incised it with deep knife. The incision is completed with
curved mayo scissor and the baby came out. The surgeon carry alive
the baby and they cut immediately the umbilical cord followed by
the removal of the placenta. Wound edges are retracted by
Richardson retractors, the uterus is identified and its fallopian
tube supply ligated and the stump is tied off with absorbable
suture. The peritoneal cavity is irrigated with NS and the fluid is
removed with suction several times. Two tissue forceps and Adson
were used to grasp the peritoneum to assist in its exposure for
closing. The peritoneum is closed with continuous suture. The
abdominal wall is then sutured by layers; fascia, muscle,
subcutaneous tissue, and skin. After which the wound is dressed.
After the surgical procedure, we then did after care of the mother
such as cleaning of the surgical area, removal of the dirty drapes,
assuring mother is stable and after care of the instrument.
