Summary
Children born after elective C-section have a greater risk of respiratory problems and
hypoglycemia - most likely due to a lower concentration of stress hormones compared to
children born vaginally. Hypothesis: can we eliminate or reduce the risk of respiratory
distress and hypoglycaemia by administrating adrenaline to the newborn.
