Most doctors of the women's clinic sent to the hospital for 1 to 2 weeks prior to surgery. Additional examination of the patient is held in the hospital. If necessary, a drug correction of identified variations in health status. It is also estimated that the fetus: cardiotocography performed, ultrasound, Doppler vascular system in the "mother-placenta-fetus". If the hospital is selected in advance and agreed to the need for caesarean section, all consultations and examinations can be passed before admission to hospital. For cesarean section should come straight to-day operations, having the necessary training at home. However, this is only possible in the absence of severe complications of pregnancy and normal condition of the fetus.
In preparation for a planned caesarean section, you may need to conduct a so-called autologous plasma donation. Patient after 20 weeks of pregnancy can take 300 ml of their own plasma (the liquid part of blood), which will be stored in a special freezer for a long time. And if during the operation required a transfusion of blood products, it will not transfused someone else (even if surveyed), and its own plasma. This eliminates the possibility of contracting various infections, including HIV, hepatitis B and C.
Аutologous plasma donation performed in hospitals that have their own branch of a blood transfusion. The procedure has no negative effect either on the mother nor the fetus, and the plasma is lost is restored in the body for 2-3 days.
