• Resumen

  • Prevention of neurologic injury to the fetus through skilled and attentive care during the peripartum period is designed to identify signs of fetal distress so that appropriate obstetric interventions can occur. The impact of mode of delivery on neurologic outcome varies depending on the clinical indication for cesarean delivery and the associated maternal and fetal conditions. This review summarizes current knowledge of the impact of mode of delivery on long-term neurologic outcome.
