Changing indications for cesarean section. A 38-year experience at a community hospital.

A review of a 38-year experience with cesarean section at a community hospital shows considerable change in both the rate and indication of cesarean sections. A marked increase in the cesarean section rate was noted after 1972. This increase was due primarily to an increase in the primary cesarean section rate for cephalopelvic disproportion and labor abnormalities, fetal distress, and the breech presentation. As a result of this study, we anticipate a primary cesarean section rate of approximately 10%: 3-5% for cephalopelvic disproportion and labor abnormalities, 1-1 1/2% for fetal distress, 3% for breech presentation, and 1-2% for all other indications.

[Protection from ionizing radiation in medicine].

Radiation burden of medical personnel is low in trained medical staff. Higher doses can occur with therapeutic application of unsealed or sealed sources, if adequate shielding is not possible or not cared for or if radiation protection measures are not observed in work with higher activities of radionuclides. More important than immoderate structural alterations for shielding purposes is individual inspection with advice on the working place and optimisation of working methods, also in regard to the radiation protection. This is possible only by cooperation and by discussing risks and problems between the radiation protection officer and the working personnel in an overt manner, assuring the mutual understanding. Radiation protection concerning medical uses of radiation in the whole population and in patients especially is determined by the necessity of indication for the medical application of radiation, by quality control and lastly by the correct interpretation of results or consequences. The latter necessitates a good collaboration between nuclear medicine specialists and clinicians because of the individual particularity of the patient which must be considered in the evaluation of results.
