Mother, Fetus, NeonateA 20-Minute Decision-delivery Interval at Emergency Cesarean Section Using General Anesthesia: A Clinically Relevant TargetKinsella, S.M. Author Information Department of Anaesthesia, University Hospitals Bristol and Weston NHS Foundation Trust, Bristol, UK Obstetric Anesthesia Digest 42(2):p 73, June 2022. | DOI: 10.1097/01.aoa.0000827852.99524.f8 Buy Metrics Abstract (Anaesthesia. 2021;76:1021–1025) The 30-minute decision-delivery interval for emergency cesarean is deeply embedded as a standard of quality of care in such cases in Europe and the United States. In extreme circumstances a shorter decision-delivery time of 20 minutes is supported where placental function or fetal circulation are severely and irreversibly compromised.
