The need for a cesarean arising from circumstances in labor are usually performed on an urgent basis, and less frequently on an emergency basis. This discussion is about cesareans that are planned weeks to months in advance, and therefore called
RISK FACTORS FOR BLOOD TRANSFUSION IN PATIENTS UNDERGOING HIGH-ORDER CESAREAN DELIVER, MFMA (Print)
For patients undergoing cesarean delivery, the risk of the operation usually increases with each successive cesarean delivery. At Maternal Fetal Medicine Associates we care for many women with several prior cesarean deliveries and therefore perform many “high-order” cesarean deliveries (3rd or higher cesarean delivery).
