Abstract

The need for the presence of the pediatrician during cesarean section is often questioned, although he is a member of the obstetrical interdisciplinary team. The pediatrician has to be informed in advance about any expected obstetrical problems and about the indications for planned or emergency Cesarean Sections. No one can predict if a low risk pregnancy will deteriorate during labor to situation which will requires intervention, and the term “normal delivery” can be used only retrospectively. The participation of the pediatrician with the operative team adds value to the procedure and his knowledge about essential surgical steps and possible intra-operative difficulties is essential.
