Abstract:
The side effects of cesarean with the increasing rate section began to attract the attention of pediatricians in recent years. Previous studies reported that the incidence of neonatal pnermothorax by full-term cesarean section, especially selective cesarean section, was significantly higher than vaginal birth or non-selective cesarean section. In addition, with an extensive establishment of NICUs in China and widely use of mechanical ventilation, the rate of successful neonatal rescue was improved obviously, but the incidence of pneumothorax was increasing. Studies suggested that the incidence of neonatal iatrogenic pneumothorax was highly relevant with selective cesarean section and mechanical ventilation. The indications for cesarean section and mechanical ventilation should be carefully considered.
