When deciding on a caesarean section, perinatologists should consider the consequences for the newborn. Studies show that caesarean section modifies adaptation to extrauterine life and is associated with risks of neonatal complications. Other determining factors for the condition and future of the newborn (gestational age, the existence of labor before cesarean section, anesthesia etc.) are not to be neglected. This article reviews the elements of the neonatal respiratory adaptation physiology, which are essential to understanding the clinical complications attributed to the mode of birth, and proposes a reconsideration of neonatal morbimortality after cesarean section.
