A caesarean‑section safety checklist provides a structured, step‑by‑step guide that ensures every critical aspect of the procedure is confirmed before the first incision. It begins with verifying the mother's identity, gestational age, and consent, followed by double‑checking the surgical site, the availability and sterility of instruments, and the readiness of the anaesthetic team and equipment. During the operation the checklist prompts the team to review the planned incision, monitor fetal heart rate, and confirm that appropriate blood products and uterine‑tone agents are on hand. After delivery, it includes items such as confirming haemostasis, documenting the infant’s Apgar score, arranging neonatal care, and outlining postoperative pain‑management and wound‑care instructions. By mandating these checks, the checklist reduces the risk of preventable errors, enhances communication among staff, and promotes a safer outcome for both mother and baby.
