Filter by:Cesarean section is a major abdominal surgery and major challenge of it is to manage the pain and make the patient mobile .In spite of the advantageous effects of kinesio taping and diaphragmatic breathing, limited, data reported to study analgesic effects on pain management and mobility restoration in acute phase of cesarean section.. This study will aim to meet the dares which are associated with cesarean section by reducing the incisional pain associated with improvement in physical mobility as a non-pharmacological treatment.
The aim of this qualitative prospective study is to investigate how mothers experience a category 1 cesarean section in a hospital where the partner is present in the operation room during the entire process (induction of general anestesia, cesarean section, possible resuscitation of newborn). Mothers will be included in the study, if they wish to participate, on day 1 or 2 following the cesarean section and a brief, structured interview will be held concerning her experience of the cesarean section. Clinical baseline data regarding the mother, the cesarean section and the infant will be collected from patients files. Mothers will be contacted again three months after the cesarean section, and a semi-structured interview will be held via telephone. At the end of the interview a screening for posttraumatic stress will be performed, using the PTSD-8 tool. The interviews will be recorded and transscribed verbatim. Content of interviews will be analysed using manifest content analysis. NVivo software will be used for coding interviews.
The goal of this clinical trial is to determine the effect of Muscle Energy Techniques on post dural puncture headache, neck pain and disability after Cesarean Section. .
Transverse abdominis plane (TAP) block is an effective method to manage postoperative pain in patients with midline abdominal wall incisions. It is used frequently in many lower abdominal surgeries however its use after caesarean section is still new, and fewer studies are available. We conducted this study to see the analgesic effect of TAP block after caesarean section.
The aim of this study is to collect clinical data on the use of Novosyn® applied for the uterus closure in cesarean section. Diverse parameters have been selected to assess that the safety and effectiveness of Novosyn® is comparable to published results, where the rate of SSIs in patients undergoing uterus closure in cesarean section was 10.6%.
Appropriate and timely care during birth is critical to the survival and health of women and their babies. In 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) presented the Labour Care Guide (LCG) as the new recommended tool for monitoring birth and assessing progression, replacing the WHO partograph. This evidence-based guide was designed to ensure improved quality and safety of care, and to avoid unnecessary interventions during birth. The LCG was developed to be used in all settings globally, but it has only been tested in health facilities in South America, Asia and Africa, while it has not been tested in high-income settings. Implementing a new guideline for monitoring birth is a comprehensive operation that will affect both the national economy, health systems, and individual patients; therefore, further research on the possible advantages is needed before national enrolment. Hence, the trial proposed in this application is crucial to form the required foundation of knowledge. The trial will be conducted in labour wards at ten hospitals, covering all health regions in Norway, and the established Norwegian Research Network for Clinical Studies in Obstetrics (NORBIRTH), with dedicated local principal investigators, will provide a robust research environment. This trial will test the effect of the LCG. Results from this trial will provide knowledge needed to determine a future implementation of the LCG in Norway.
In recent years, a set of evidence-based recommendations called Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) is being applied for care of cesarean sections. The effectiveness of ERAS in reducing the length of hospitalization, postoperative complications, the need for analgesics right away after surgery, and the financial cost in the context of cesarean sections has been shown in several studies. There is strong evidence that following ERAS protocols aids postoperative recovery positively. This will be a randomized trial to determine if there is a difference regarding adverse maternal outcomes between ERAS group and standard of care.
This is a prospective, double-blinded, randomized placebo-controlled trial. The study will be approved by the DUHS institutional review board (IRB) and the trial will be registered at clinical trial registry. After receiving the trial information from the obstetricians during prenatal visits or from the anaesthetists during the systematic anaesthesia visit, or both the prospective women will be invited to participate in the trial. The intervention consists of administration of 1gm of tranexemic acid (TXA) or 10-mls of placebo (normal saline) intravenously, according to the randomization groups slowly over 30-60 sec, within 3 mins of the delivery of baby, after the routine prophylactic uterotonic administration and cord clamping. Administration of the prophylactic uterotonic agent (and TXA or placebo) may be followed by a two-hour oxytocin infusion, in accordance with the hospital policy. All women will be followed up at 48 hours after caeserian delivery. A venous blood sample will be obtained on day-two (D2) after delivery for outcome assessment. Adverse events will be assessed until hospital discharge and by telephone interview at 8 weeks after delivery.
Surgery causes poor sleep quality for several reasons eg. increasing stress hormonal production, pain, starvation, and environmental procedure namely noise, light, and nursing procedures. Poor sleep quality also brings numerous side effects including delirium, delayed recovery, and affect breastfeeding. We, therefore, aim to elucidate the incidence of poor sleep quality in parturients undergoing cesarean delivery in the early postoperative period and investigate the factors involving poor sleep conditions.
Chronic post-surgical pain is a problem that has historically been underestimated. Over the last few years there has been a search for strategies to both predict and prevent its occurrence in patients undergoing surgery. The Gendolcat index is the only predictive model that uses only objective pre-surgical variables to assess the risk of suffering chronic post-surgical pain. However, it is only validated for the following surgeries: thoracotomy, hysterectomy and open inguinal hernia. Our aim is to test whether the Gendolcat model is also valid for cesarean section.
