Filter by:Background: While caesarean sections are increasing, breast-feeding rates are decreasing. It is important to implement supportive programs to ensure mothers breast feed for the desired period and infants are fed by only mother's milk. Aim: In the research, it was aimed to evaluate the effects of lactation management models on mothers' breastfeeding process following a caesarean section. Methods: The research was conducted as a randomized controlled study and experimentally. Before implementation, Lactation Management Model was developed. Data collection was performed during gestation, first day after postpartum, pre-discharge, on 9th day in face to face interview and in the form of monthly phone interviews up to 6 months. While the experimental group exercised lactation management model, control group received routine lactation practices in clinic. Conclusions: Among the females in the experimental group, it was found that breastfeeding self-efficacy were higher, and breastfeeding techniques were accurate and successful and breastfeeding only and continuity rates were higher while breastfeeding related breast problems developed less frequently. Lactation management model should be used and expanded to increase breastfeeding rates. Keywords: Cesarean section, breastfeeding, mother milk, lactation management model, breastfeeding training
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of lumbar ultrasound anatomic mapping using the Accuro device on the number of needle redirections, when performing spinal anesthesia in the lateral decubitus position on patients undergoing elective cesarean delivery.
In this study aimed to demonstrate that atelectasis developing in the perioperative period of patients undergoing elective cesarean surgery with spinal or general anesthesia methods using lung ultrasound. After Preoperative lung ultrasounds of patients is done, the cesarean operation will be completed with spinal or general anesthesia. In the postoperative period, control lung ultrasounds will be performed and the ultrasound results will be compared in terms of atelectasis in both groups.
In this prospective randomized trial, investigators compared the analgesic effect of subanesthetic dose of ketamine versus placebo in parturients undergoing cesarean section under spinal anesthesia.
Postspinal hypotension (PSH) is common in obstetric anesthesia practice, with an incidence of up to 71 %. PSH can occur precipitously and, if severe, can result in both maternal and fetal/neonatal adverse events. Pregnant women with predelivery hypovolemia are at risk of cardiovascular collapse and the sympathetic blockade may severely decrease venous return. Hence, prevention of PSH is an essential element in obstetric anesthesia and fasting for aspiration prophylaxis may further add up to the hypovolemia for the patients not on maintenance fluids. Hemodynamic monitoring in obstetric patients has evolved during the last decade, with the development of minimally invasive and noninvasive continuous cardiac output (CO) monitors. Ultrasound (USG) is a method for noninvasive hemodynamic optimization in the ICU and ED, and it may be more helpful than other noninvasive methods. Transabdominal USG measurements of inferior vena cava (IVC) are noninvasive and thus are not associated with complications. USG of the IVC diameter is a useful and easy method for assessing a patient's volume status by calculating the IVC collapsibility index (IVCCI). Recently, the usefulness of point-of-care ultrasonographic examination, performed by anesthesiologists in real time, for perioperative management has been reported . Ultrasonographic studies have established the utility of measuring the inferior vena cava (IVC) or internal jugular Vein (IJV) for evaluating intravascular volume status . In particular, IVC diameter and collapsibility, obtained from ultrasonographic measurement, have been demonstrated to be predictors of hypotension after anesthetic administration.
The purpose of this study is to specifically investigate whether oxytocin and mechanical dilation decreases the rate of cesarean section compared to misoprostol and mechanical dilation for pregnancies at risk of fetal compromise
The purpose of this research is to describe how patients recover after scheduled C-section for the first 3 months.
The aim of this study to determine the effect of deep tissue massage applied to the back on pain and comfort after cesarean section. Personal information form was used as data collection form, Visual Analog Scala was used to assess pain, and Postpartum Comfort Questionnaire was used to assess comfort.
Study of the impact of preoperative oral rehydration on the incidence of spinal anesthesia-induced hypotension for scheduled cesarean section.
The purpose of the research study is to collect preliminary data to which future outcomes after implementing quality improvement projects or research will be compared. There will be observation of the labor and delivery services received and resulting outcomes of women and infants who deliver at private health facilities in urban Malawi. Data will be collected at admission, delivery, and discharge from women and providers on patient characteristics, labor and obstetric characteristics, delivery factors, and pregnancy outcomes that result during the course of the hospitalization. This will include the vital status of the mother and the infant. The overall hypothesis is that cesarean birth rates will be higher than the ecologically supported 10% cesarean birth rate, and that there may be cesareans that are performed without clear medical indication.
