A recent study conducted by researchers from the University of Sao Paulo examined the impact of birth mode on pulmonary clearance and respiratory performance of canine neonates during the transition period. The study found that elective cesarean section delayed pulmonary adaptation in dogs, resulting in hypoxemia and less efficient compensatory responses to acid-base imbalance and thermoregulation. The research concluded that while elective c-section did not delay pulmonary clearance, it did alter pulmonary adaptation, affecting gas exchange and oxygenation during the fetal-neonatal transition in dogs. The study was supported by Fundacao de Amparo a Pesquisa do Estado de Sao Paulo (FAPESP) and has been peer-reviewed. [Extracted from the article] |
