Safety of uneventful cesarean section in terms of hemorrhage

Routine haemoglobin assay after uncomplicated caesarean sections

“…Bodur et al . [ 10 ] and other obstetricians prefer to do the ECS 38 weeks after the dexamethasone course for induction of foetal lung maturity [ 20 ]. In this study, the mean gestational age at ECS was 39.2 ± 1.2 weeks, which can be explained by the ACOG guidelines [ 21 ].…”

“…Also, Bodur et al . defined the CS as uncomplicated when the duration was no longer than 45 min and there were no bladder, ureteral, intestinal, uterine artery injuries, or uterine atonia [ 10 ].…”

“…Uncomplicated CS was defined when the duration of the CS was < 45 min with < 750 mL intra-operative blood loss, no bladder, ureteral, intestinal, or uterine artery injuries, and no uterine atonia [ 10 ].…”

“…After spontaneous delivery of the placenta, the uterine incision was repaired in 2 layers using no. 1 absorbable polyglycolic sutures (Vicryl-Ethicon, NJ, USA) [ 10 ].…”

“…Routine haemoglobin (Hb) assay is one of the common post-operative (PO) practices after CS [ 10 ], which exposes women to unnecessary blood components transfusion and transfusion risks due to misdiagnosed anaemia [ 11 ]. Therefore, this study aimed to detect whether or not Hb assay after uncomplicated CSs is necessary.…”
