Decision Delivery Interval (DDI)
vs Bradycardia Delivery Interval (BDI)
“The Evidence”
Objectives
Fetal benefits?
Maternal Harm?
30
mins
Overview
Urgency of caesarean section
Decision delivery interval / Decision incision interval (DDI)
Bradycardia decision interval (BDI)
“3 min rule”
Urgency
Crash caesarean section - 0.6 – 0.7%
Increase duration of anoxia – increased incidence of HIE
Classification of caesarean section
Decision
delivery
interval ?
Hypothesis - Duration of fetal hypoxia = Degree
of HIE
Consensus
i) Decision delivery interval (DDI) – 30mins
ii) Decision incision interval (DII) – 30mins
30min rule?
Does 30mins – improve perinatal
outcomes?
Achievable? Negligence?
Studies on monkeys – 10mins –
irreversible cerebral injury
Case studies on uterine rupture –
irreversible HIE in 18mins
DDI
The Origin
1950’s – 1968 – studies in US – average duration –
15- 43mins
Nationwide survey in US – 538 hospitals (1988) –
almost all hospitals achieved delivery within 30mins
This was later adopted by UK, RCOG, Clinical
Negligence Schemes . Remains a consensus by
ACOG & American Association of Paediatrics
German Society of O&G – DDI – 20mins
“
”
All units should be capable to
deliver within 30 minutes
ACOG
American Academic of Pediatricians
DDI –
evidence
Conflicting
Some studies – better outcomes > 30mins – in
utero resuscitation
Some studies – no difference if fetus delivered >
75 minutes
Some causes are reversible – tachysystole, post
epidural
Average delivery time for category 1 & 2
UK National Sentinel audit for caesarean section
2 month audit
17780 births
DD1 15 Vs 16-75 minutes – no difference in outcomes
Beyond 75 minutes – significant reduction in 5 min Apgar Score
DDI
VS
BDI
Better correlation of
BDI with adverse
fetal outcomes
BDI Vs DDI
Irreversible Potentially reversible
Cord prolapse
Uterine rupture
Abruption
Failed instrumentation
Uterine hyperstimulation
Post epidural
Aortocaval compression
Approach to
bradycardia
Anything below 110 – abnormal
100-110 – borderline – postdates
Check – ensure it is not maternal HR and it has
normal baseline variability
Follow the 3 min rule
3 min rule
Time Action
3 Deceleration > 3 mins – emergency alarm
3-6 Reversible or non reversible?
Non reversible – Emergency delivery
Reversible – left lateral, stop oxytocin, tocolytic agent, fluids,
ephedrine
9 If no recovery – prepare for delivery
12 Must be in OT for delivery – instrumental/caesarean
15 Baby delivered
Take home message
BDI is essential, not DDI.
Determine cause of bradycardia – reversible or irreversible
Irreversible – BDI 15 mins
Reversible – intrauterine fetal resuscitation. “3 minute rule”
Self audit & set standards
