| Issue: | Perimortem Caesarean section is not primarily to resuscitate the infant. "The prime aim of perimortem CS is to facilitate maternal resuscitation and maximise the chance of maternal survival. Although fetal survival is possible, this is not the prime aim of the procedure. ...CS [should still be undertaken] even if the baby is known to have died." (POET Manual) |
