“…More recently, blood-brain barrier crossover issues, as measured in prairie voles, have been raised by Carter, Boone, Pournajafi-Nazarloo, and Bales (2009), whereby Pitocin exposure may trigger differential exposure to fetal hypoxia via alternations in maternal uterine contraction intensity. Pitocin induction and fetal distress (Akoury, 1991;Bidgood & Steer, 1987;Satin, 1992) has been implicated in fetal neurological impairment (Bors-Koefoed et al, 1998;Fein et al, 1997) and considered in autism (Fein et al, 1997, Waterhouse, Fein, & Modahl, 1996, yet overlooked with respect to ADHD sequelae. Prenatal stress can injure the immature fetal brain, causing significant neurological impairment (Hirst, Walker, Yawno, & Palliser, 2009).…”

A Cesarean delivery may be critical to the health and wellbeing of a newborn. The time required to extract an infant from a hostile in utero environment is a frequent issue in medical negligence cases. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and the American Academy of Pediatrics suggest a time guideline of 30 minutes from decision for Cesarean delivery to the beginning (incision) of the procedure. This time frame is based on survey data from hospitals throughout the United States and is not based on clinical outcomes or the pathophysiology of obstetric events. This review focuses on specific Cesarean indications as noted by the specialty groups and analyzes them from an outcome point of view. The authors conclude that specific high-risk factors do indeed warrant delivery in as expedient a fashion as possible; however, compliance with the 30-minute guideline does not necessarily lead to a difference in outcome as far as the neonate is concerned.
