Filter by:Cesarean section (CS) is one of the most frequently performed surgical procedures in the World. Moderate to severe postoperative pain occurs in a significant proportion of women after cesarean surgery. The analgesic effectiveness of TAP block has been demonstrated after cesarean section operations. m-TAPA block has been described as an alternative analgesic technique in abdominal surgeries. The aim of this study is to compare these two analgesic methods in terms of effectiveness for postoperative analgesia management after cesarean section.
The aim of this study is to examine the effect of back massage application after cesarean section on women's pain, anxiety, sleep, breastfeeding, comfort, uterine involution process and physiological parameters. This research is a randomized controlled experimental type study with a pretest-posttest control group. In the research, after obtaining the necessary permissions and the ethics committee report, the application will be carried out to women who have given birth by cesarean section at the State Hospital and meet the criteria for inclusion in the study. Personal Information Form, Richard Campbell Sleep Scale, Trait-Trait Anxiety Inventory, Postpartum Comfort Scale, Bristol Breastfeeding Evaluation Tool, Visual Analog Scale for Pain, Uterine Involution Evaluation Form, Physiological Parameter Form will be used in the research.
Cesarean section (CS) is one of the most frequently performed surgical procedures in the World. Moderate to severe postoperative pain occurs in a significant proportion of women after cesarean surgery. Modified Perichondral Approach Thoracoabdominal Nerve (M-TAPA) block performed with ultrasound (US) is a novel technique that provides effective analgesia in the anterior and lateral thoracoabdominal areas, where local anesthetic is applied only to the lower side of the perichondral surface. M-TAPA block is a good alternative for analgesia of the upper dermatome levels and the abdominal lateral Wall, provides analgesia in the abdominal area at the T5-T11 level. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of US-guided M-TAPA block for postoperative analgesia management after cesarean section.
The aim of this study is to compare cesarean incision outcomes between patients with incision closed with the Dermabond Prineo system compared to standard subcuticular suture.
It will be a prospective observational cohort study. The investigators will compare post-cesarean section recovery in patients receiving intravenous infusion of tramadol-ondansetron versus epidural catheter with infusion of local anesthetics.
In recent decades, obesity has become a prevalent issue in Portugal, with 38.6% and 13.8% of the population being overweight or obese, respectively. Obese pregnant women have a higher rate of obstetric complications, including hypertensive complications, gestational diabetes and fetal macrosomia, leading to increased induction of labor (IOL) and cesarean section (CS) rates. To determine the effect of increasing oral misoprostol dose on CS rate in obese pregnant women undergoing IOL, a randomized controlled trial with a sample size of 114 cases in each group was calculated to detect a 15% difference in CS rate. The primary objective is to determine the effect of increasing oral misoprostol dose, with secondary goals being to compare successful IOL rates and their relationship with oral misoprostol dose, as well as to evaluate tolerability and side effects in relation to different doses of oral misoprostol.
Spinal anesthesia in obese parturients is commonly difficult yet there are no guidelines to direct best practice. The failure leads to suboptimal patient outcomes. Ultrasonography is now considered standard care for central venous access and regional anesthesia and it can be used to visualize the anatomy of the spine for this procedure. Goal of the study Evaluate the benefits of preprocedural ultrasound scanning to facilitate neuraxial anesthesia and improve the first-attempt success rate in obese parturients.
The aim of this study is to compare Surgical Transversus abdominis plane block and Ultrasound guided transversus abdominis plane block (TAPB) as a postoperative analgesic regimen in female patients undergoing elective cesarean delivery.
Cesareans are a frequent procedure in obstetrics and 15.4% (95% CI, 9.9-20.9%) of women with cesareans still have pain at 3 months after delivery. Currently, self-massage of the scar is recommended to them. Post-cesarean pain is associated with psychological disorders (including, e.g., anxiety, depression). Tecar therapy could improve the healing and pain associated with cesareans and therefore improve women's quality of life and their satisfaction. Objectives: The principal objective is to study the analgesic efficacy of tecar therapy for postoperative scar pain and/or discomfort at 3 month after cesarean delivery, by comparing it with sham tecar therapy. A randomized clinical trial with 2 parallel arms and single blinding, to study the efficacy of this medical device for therapeutic purposes. In both groups (randomization stratified as a first cesarean or repeat cesarean), the women will have the standard recommended treatment - manual self-massage of the scar. Women's instruction in this self-massage will be structured and identical for both groups, including the provision of an informational document describing how to perform this massage. The training will be provided immediately after randomization. - Description of the experimental group These women will receive Tecar through Winback® technology [CE medical 1984, Norma 60601-2, ISO9001, ISO13485. Class IIa medical device, CET (capacitative mode) 400 VA and RET (resistant mode) 100 Watts, weight 4 Kg)]. Each session will last for 20 minutes, and each individual will have 3 sessions over a period of 3 weeks. - Description of the control group ("sham treatment") The women will follow the same study design as the experimental group with activation of the portable placebo device identical to the active medical. Each session will last for 20 minutes, and each individual will have 3 sessions over a 3-week period. Principal endpoint: Visual analogic scale (VAS) for pain and/or discomfort at 3 months after delivery partum (with a ruler scored from 0 for no pain to 10 for the worst pain imaginable). Succinct description of the products: "Tecar" is an acronym for a type of therapy (transfer electrical capacitive and resistive). The Winback® is a portable, easy-to-handle noninvasive regenerator. This study will use only the instrumental mode and 4-cm electrodes. During each session, this electrode will be moved over the entire scar. We will use the following 3 modes: capacitive (CET), CET Dynamic, and resistant (RET). These allow us to standardize the treatment without taking into account either the thickness of the abdominal wall or the woman's morphology. Each session will take 20 minutes (CET for 4 min, CET Dynamic 6 min, RET 6 min and CET 4 min). The intensity of CET and RET will be adapted to each woman and the diathermy chosen according to the woman's threshold of comfort, to be determined by her at each session, in the experimental group. There will be 1 session a week for 3 weeks. Study plan and procedures: The eligible women will be identified by the physicians in both of the obstetrics departments participating in this study. The women will receive oral information as well as written information. If they are interested, they will be offered an inclusion visit, normally scheduled for one week later. After a second verification of the eligibility criteria at this inclusion meeting, reading the information form and signing the consent, they will be randomized into one of the two groups by random drawing. Each woman will have 3 sessions (1 session a week for 20 min for 3 consecutive weeks): active treatment by tecar therapy or sham/placebo tecar therapy. They will receive self-administered questionnaires at 3 and 6 months after delivery to be completed and returned.
The goal of this study is to compare the blood pressure control ability with HPI, ClearSight, and conventional NIBP during neuraxial anesthesia in cesarean section. The main question it aims to answer is: Anesthesiologists can have a better control of blood pressure during cesarean section with HPI than with conventional NIBP. During the surgery, the participants will be monitored with standard monitor and HPI with ClearSight and will be randomly assigned to three groups, including HPI group, ClearSight group, and NIBP group. Anesthesiologists will treat intraoperative hypotension with different protocols according to the participants' allocation. Investigators will compare the time-weighted average mean arterial pressure < 65mmHg with in three groups. Secondary outcomes includes the intraoperative hypotension rate, total duration of hypotension, the hypotension symptoms and signs of parturients.
