| Popis: | Total number of 410 deliveries were performed at Kathmandu Model Hospital (KMH) during 33 months (April 96 -Dec 98 ). Among 410 deliveries 107 (26.09%) cases were done by Lower Segment Caesarean Section (LSCS), 54 cases (13.37%) by forceps delivery, 188 (45.85%) cases normal vaginal delivery with epigiotomy and 61 (14.87%) normal vaginal delivery with or without tear. During this period, 6 twin delivery cases were observed. There were 14 cases of perinatal deaths (still birth -10 and neonatal-death - 4). Hence, perinatal mortality rate during this peroid in this hospital was 34.15. Perinatal mortality was mostly due to severe prematurity, birth asphyxia, ante-partum haemorrhage (APH), intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR), congenital abnormalities and sepsis. KEY WORDS: Neonatal death, Still birth, Perinatal mortality, Antepartum haemorrhage (APH), Sepsis. |
