Zusammenfassung:Summary General anaesthesia is known to achieve the shortest decision‐to‐delivery interval for category‐1 caesarean section. We investigated whether the COVID‐19 pandemic affected the decision‐to delivery interval and influenced neonatal outcomes in patients who underwent category‐1 caesarean section. Records of 562 patients who underwent emergency caesarean section between 1 April 2019 and 1 July 2019 in seven UK hospitals (pre‐COVID‐19 group) were compared with 577 emergency caesarean sections performed during the same period during the COVID‐19 pandemic (1 April 2020–1 July 2020) (post‐COVID‐19 group). Primary outcome measures were: decision‐to‐delivery interval; number of caesarean sections achieving decision‐to‐delivery interval
