A patient is booked for a CS in advance, before labour and without a new complication. Which timing label best fits?
Answer
Elective
Explanation
The planned antenatal timing and absence of labour or complications fit the lecture's definition of elective CS. Whether it is primary or repeat is a separate classification question. **Key takeaway:** Timing and procedure number are independent dimensions. **Glossary:** **Repeat CS**: a subsequent caesarean after a previous one.
