Question

During an emergency cesarean section, large bleeders are clamped and not ligated because:

A. electrosurgery will harm the baby.
B. coagulation agents will be given by anesthesia personnel.
C. bleeding will stop over time
D. bleeding will be addressed after the delivery

Answer 1

Answer: Option d

Step-by-step explanation:

In case of Cesarean section, large bleeders are clamped and not ligated because there is a chance of postpartum hemorrhage which is very fatal for the mothers.

It has been recorded that almost 1 to 5% of the women die after giving birth to the baby because of excessive blood loss.

So, it is better to clamp the placenta rather than to ligate it as it would not prevent blood loss.
