Onset of respiration in infants delivered by cesarean section

I saw this and thought it was interesting, especially in regards to the discussions we had in class about the mechanics of a neonate’s first breath. Studies were done to observe the breathing of a babies delivered by cesarean-section. The results showed that the initial breathing is comparable to a baby delivered vaginally.
