This study addresses the production of knowledge in the public health field regarding the "decision" on the route of delivery. This is an integrative literature review that discusses uses, potentials and limits of this category in analyses of the practice of cesarean sections in Brazil. We used a combination of thematic and discourse analysis techniques. The literature on cesarean sections in Brazil has advanced from the narrow focus on the individual choice to a deeper contextualization. However, literature still needs to progress, since there are few discussions on socio-cultural, political, and economic issues, and on the role of medical and non-medical technologies. DESCRIPTORS: Parturition. Cesarean section. Choice behavior.A DECISÃO PELA VIA DE PARTO NO BRASIL: TEMAS E TENDÊNCIAS NA PRODUÇÃO DA SAÚDE COLETIVA RESUMO: O artigo estuda a produção de conhecimento no campo da saúde coletiva sobre a "decisão" relacionada à via de parto. Trata-se de um estudo de revisão integrativa da literatura que discute usos, potencialidades e limites dessa categoria nas análises sobre a prática da cesariana no Brasil. Utilizou-se uma combinação de técnicas de análise temática e de discurso. Considera-se que a literatura sobre cesariana no Brasil tem avançado ao sair do foco estreito de escolha individual para uma contextualização mais profunda. Acredita-se, porém, que a literatura ainda precisa progredir, pois há poucas discussões de questões socioculturais, políticas, econômicas e sobre o papel das tecnologias médicas e não médicas. DESCRITORES:Parto. Cesárea. Comportamento de escolha. LA DECISIÓN POR EL TIPO DE PARTO EN BRASIL: TEMAS Y TENDENCIAS EN LA PRODUCCIÓN DE SALUD COLECTIVARESUMEN: El artículo estudia la producción de conocimiento en el ámbito de la salud colectiva sobre la "decisión" en relación al tipo de parto. Se trata de un estudio de la revisión integradora de la literatura que trata sobre los usos, las posibilidades y límites de esta categoría en los análisis sobre la práctica de la cesárea en Brasil. Utilizamos una combinación de técnicas de análisis temática y del discurso. Se considera que la literatura sobre la cesárea en Brasil ha avanzado de la limitada visión de la elección individual a una contextualización más profunda. Se cree, sin embargo, que la literatura aún tiene que progresar, porque hay pocas discusiones de temas socio-culturales, políticos, económicos y acerca del papel de las tecnologías médicas y no médicas.

“…For example, the prevalence of CD has risen to estimates of 24% in England [27], 33% in the US [28] and 40% in some regions of India [29]. An estimate for Brazil is between 32-48% depending upon the country of the mother's birth [30]. Finally, a study sponsored by the World Health Organization estimated that in China, almost one-half (46%) of all women were having CDs [31].…”

Much of the prior century was spent applying the latest emerging technologies toward managing pregnancy, childbirth, and infant development. The idea was that each change was significantly improving the health of our children across their lifetime. But it is now clear that with several of the adopted practices, there have been unintended consequences. We have run the risk of losing certain distinct advantages that were inherently embedded in ancient cultures and practices. Among these were the microbial-rich experiences of natural childbirth, breastfeeding, and agrarian living. These practices permitted children to acquire a complete microbiome thereby facilitating immune development and appropriate later-life immune responses. Perceived technology-associated benefits such as scheduled Caesarian births, urban sanitized living, and earlier and ever increasing vaccine burdens have helped to reduce the burden of some childhood illnesses. But recent studies suggest that they have also produced serious, unanticipated consequences for today's children: an increased likelihood for human-microbiome incompleteness, lifelong immune dysfunction, and inflammation-promoted chronic disease. This review will examine recent evidence suggesting that a more effective blending of ancient practices and remedies with modern technology and medical knowledge could help to restore the human-microbiome super organism to its historic status, improve pediatric immune homeostasis and reduce risk of later-life chronic diseases.historic birth and infant feeding practices. As discussed by Wolf [4], there is an irony that early in the 20 th century public health officials were advocating increased breastfeeding by mothers and early in the 21 st century the same exact message has been repeated albeit with a different mix of reasons [4]. In the case of the 20 th century call for increased breastfeeding, the primary health concerns were for acute illnesses such as diarrheal diseases, pneumonia, and necrotizing colitis [4]. But for the more recent call, the preventative focus is larger and includes the prevention of noncommunicable chronic diseases (NCDs) [5]. This review considers: 1) shifting historic views regarding the value of natural childbirth and breastfeeding as preventive measures, and 2) an emerging paradigm in which natural childbirth (NC) and prolonged infant breastfeeding combine to reduce the risk of inflammation-driven chronic diseases via immune-microbiome co-maturation as well as other possible developmentally-programmed routes. Additionally, NC and breastfeeding are discussed under the broader human ecological framework of a developmental model in which effective humanmicrobe super organism formation between the child's mammalian component and symbiotic microbes that form the child's microbiome, termed the "Completed Self " [6]. Timely, complete and individualized formation of this symbiotic human mammalian-microbial organism or "Completed Self " has been suggested as perhaps the single most important biological sign con...

“…A escolha da mulher pelo parto cesáreo tem sido apontada por vários estudos como uma das razões para o aumento nas taxas de cesariana 13,14,15 . Resultados de uma revisão sistemática no assunto 14 mostra uma preferência de 15,6% por parto cesáreo, com maiores proporções em mulheres com cesariana anterior (29,4%).…”
