Evaluation of decision to delivery interval and its effect on feto-maternal outcomes in Category-I emergency cesarean section deliveries in Phuentsholing General Hospital, 2020: A retrospective cross-sectional study.

The Category-I emergency cesarean sections performed within recommended DDI of 30 min were much less. The main delay was due to the longer time taken for the patient transfer and time taken by the anesthetists to administer anesthesia. Perinatal outcomes were favorable when the deliveries were conducted within 30 min of DDI.
