9 Cesarean Birth Nursing Care Plans
Use this nursing care plan guide to create nursing diagnosis for cesarean birth or cesarean section.
Caesarean Section (C-Section)
Abruptio Placentae
Abruptio placentae is the premature separation of the placenta that occurs late in the pregnancy.
Cesarean Birth
Cesarean birth, also known as a C-section, is a surgical delivery method where the baby is delivered through an incision made in the mother’s abdomen and uterus. This procedure is performed when vaginal delivery is unsafe or not feasible for the mother or the baby, either due to specific medical conditions or during labor complications.
Placenta Previa
Placenta previa is a pregnancy complication where the placenta partially or completely covers the opening of the cervix, impeding the normal pathway for childbirth. This condition can lead to vaginal bleeding, especially during the third trimester.
Postpartum Hemorrhage
Postpartum hemorrhage occurs when a woman loses more than 500 mL of blood in a normal delivery and more than 1000 mL of blood in a cesarean delivery within 24 hours.
