Obstetric management of delayed-interval delivery

Publication date: Available online 30 September 2017 Source:Case Reports in Women's Health Author(s): Maria Inês Raposo, Mariana Cardoso, Mariana Ormonde, Sarah Stokreef, Laura Correia, Andrea Pereira The delayed-interval delivery is a rare, flexible and complex procedure. In light of these facts, there is no consensus on the best approach to achieve it successfully. This case report is of an asynchronous delivery, in a twin pregnancy, with a 32-day interval between births of siblings. Our obstetric management, at a critical gestational age, improved the outcome of the second newborn. The probability of success of delayed-interval delivery depends on the proper selection of the candidates, the appropriate active management and the continuous monitoring for early detection of complications.
