Morbid Obesity and Caesarean in a Low Resource Setting
W. S. African Journal of Medicine and Pharma Research, 1 (2):
6-7(2023)
Abstract
Drastically rising prevalence of obesity across each and every countries, nations, age groups and ethnicities has become a major health problem in the whole world. Doubling the prevalence of morbid obesity (BMI>40kg/m2) between 2000 to 2005 highlights the gravity of the issue while 8% of women in reproductive age being morbid obese further enumerate the developing challenge to Obstetricians, especially when they need caesarean delivery1. Because caesarean rate among morbid obese women is high (47%) compare to normal women (20%)2. Emergency caesarean rate is 42-50% among them compare to normal women3. Other than antenatal complications, morbid obesity generates surgical, anesthetic and logistic challenges when they require caesarean delivery. The problem becomes worse when dealing in a low resource setting.
