The goal of this clinical trial is to compare norepinephrine and ephedrine in maintaining blood pressure during spinal anaesthesia for elective cesarean delivery. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Do phenylephrine and norepinephrine administered as manually controlled continuous infusion during elective cesarean delivery have different effects on neonatal outcome ? - Do phenylephrine and norepinephrine administered as manually controlled continuous infusion during elective cesarean delivery have different effects on maternal hemodynamics? Participants will receive either phenylephrine or norepinephrine infusion, at the time of performing spinal anesthesia, the infusion rate will be adjusted manually depending on maternal arterial pressure.
In Denmark, around 12,700 patients undergo Cesarean delivery (CD) annually, constituting approximately 20% of all childbirths in the country. Worldwide, the number is increasing each year, with more than 20 million CD performed annually. Postoperative pain after CD is typically moderate to severe in intensity and still constitutes a significant challenge, balancing effective pain relief and potential side effects. Correlations between moderate to severe acute pain and the development of persistent pain after CD is still unclear. Postsurgical persistent pain is a significant, often unrecognized clinical problem that causes distress and diminishes the quality of life for patients. Despite advances in understanding the factors contributing to persistent postsurgical pain and an increased focus on identifying patients at risk, the management and prevention of postsurgical persistent pain are still inadequate. It is important to gain further insights into this population, and we have a unique opportunity to do so by following the national cohort from the ongoing Danish multicenter cohort study on pain after cesarean section (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT06012747) over an extended follow-up period. This involves continued prospective registration of Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROM) collected by SMS-based questionnaires in the months and years after the CD, thereby investigating the occurrence of both acute and persistent pain after CD. The outcomes are focused on pain levels, the impact of pain on physical function and neuropathic pain characteristics in the months and years following the CD. The study also aims to explore the relationship between persistent and acute pain.
The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to investigate the impact of routine bladder catheterization in uncomplicated cesarean sections on hospitalization time (readiness to discharge), time to ambulation, urinary retention, development of urinary tract infections, prevention of bladder injury, operating time, and patient satisfaction.
The goal of this study is to obtain user feedback while placing and observing the DAISY uterine drain with wall suction. This study defines the obstetrical surgeons as "users" and the patients in whom the drain is placed as "participants." Participants are pregnant women who are undergoing cesarean delivery (CD), who have not entered active labor, who have consented to drain placement and who have met all the inclusion/exclusion criteria. Users are staff or fellow obstetrical surgeons who will use the drain and provide the evaluation.
Postpartum hemorrhage is the leading cause of maternal deaths in all over the world, especially in developing and underdeveloped countries. Medical and surgical methods exist for management of bleeding. There are two surgical techniques for removal of the placenta on cesarean delivery, which are called manual removal and controlled cord traction. In manual removal group, the duration of surgery time might be shorter theoretically. Nevertheless, there are studies showing that manual removal of the placenta may increase postpartum endometritis and postpartum hemorrhage. The optimal method for removal of the placenta during the cesarean delivery remains uncertain (1). It is a known fact that uterine massage after vaginal birth lowers the risk of postpartum hemorrhage (2) However, there is no study on how effective uterine massage is during cesarean delivery. In 2018, Saccone and colleagues wanted to publish a meta-analysis on the role of uterine massage in reducing postpartum bleeding during cesarean delivery, but when they examined the literature on the subject, they could not find a study which included only the group that gave birth by cesarean section and was free from bias. In the same publication, it was mentioned that it was necessary to investigate the effectiveness of uterine massage, which is a cost-free method that can reduce maternal morbidity in underdeveloped countries where maternal deaths due to postpartum bleeding are high, in cesarean section.

Pressure applied according to the principles of acupressure limits the pain limit, reduces the secretion of endorphins, which is a neurochemical, reduces the tension in the muscles, reduces the amount of oxygen in the blood flow, and finally provides duration and relaxation. Acupressure application is becoming more and more common nowadays because it is a noninvasive, safe, easy-to-apply and effective method without side effects. It seems that there is a limit to the study in which group acupressure applications in the literature are examined together on pain and comfort after cesarean section. In these basic points, the expectations of achieving postpartum pain and postpartum comfort of acupressure applied after cesarean delivery in this study. The circle of the research; There will be women who will have repeated cesarean section in a private Obstetrics Clinic in Famagusta. Women will be separated from two groups, one group will continue acupressure and the other group will do routine care. Visual analog scale and end-of-birth comfort procedure will be applied to women before and after the application.
This study was organized as a randomized controlled trial. The sample was calculated as 120 (Control: 60, Experiment 1:30 Experiment 2:30). Primiparous cesarean section women will be evaluated for pain, postpartum comfort and anxiety levels by using lavender oil, tangerine oil and vetiver oil. The first group will be given inhaler application, the second group will be massage and aromatherapy application. The third group will be the control group.
The study will include 444 pregnant patients undergoing cesarean section in Kasr Al Aini. Following a proper medical history taking, examination will be done, investigations including laboratory tests and obstetric ultrasound will be done. Then, the patients will be divided into 4 groups, receiving Oxytocin only (Group 1), Oxytocin + Tranexamic acid (Group 2), Oxtytocin and Misoprostol (Group 3) or Oxytocin and Carbetocin (Group 4) followed by collection of necessary data.
The goal of this comparative clinical trial is to compare Pfannenstiel incision and higher transverse supra umbilical incision techniques during elective cesarean section in morbidly obese patients. The main questions it aims to answer are: Is there a difference in operative time between the two incision techniques? Is there a difference in estimated blood loss between the two techniques? Is there a difference in post-operative pain scores between the two techniques? Is there a difference in wound complication rates between the two techniques? Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either a Pfannenstiel incision or a higher transverse supra umbilical incision during their scheduled cesarean delivery. Researchers will compare the Pfannenstiel incision group to the higher transverse supra umbilical incision group to see if there are differences in operative time, blood loss, post-operative pain, and wound complications.
