Description

To compare the main medical problems that neonates have after being born in induced labor versus spontaneous labor.. This prospective study was conducted from 1st May till 30th November, 2022, in Pauls Stradins Clinical University Hospital III level Perinatal Center. We included neonates from term singleton pregnancy with cephalic presentation and without scheduled cesarean section that needed any medical attention after delivery. All data were analyzed using MS Excel and IBM SPSS Statistics program.. During the study period 686 babies were born, 20 neonates were included in the study: 5 - in spontaneous labor, 15 - in induced one. Positive ventilation (Neopuff) received 2 neonates after spontaneous delivery and 8 after induced labor. Mechanical ventilation or CPAP after delivery room stabilization needed in 1 and 7 neonates accordingly. Four neonates were transferred to the NICU after spontaneous delivery, and 9 - after the induced labor. Among them: 1 neonate with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, 2 - seizures, 1 - transient hypoglycemia, 2 with low Apgar score at 5 minutes. Two neonates needed prolonged treatment.
