About this trial
In Egypt, the proportion of CSs has been steadily increasing in recent years and has reached an alarming level. According to data from the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RCOG), approximately 6% of caesarean sections (CS) are performed on average because of inadequate supervision from junior staff members or a lack of training, particularly during the critical decision-making phase of this second stage. The unfamiliarity and lack of experience with operative vaginal delivery is a major cause for the rise in the rate of second stage caesarean section. This survey targets obstetricians with different levels of experience to find practical solutions to increase the rate of assisted vaginal delivery which subsequently will decrease the rate of second stage CS.
