Filter by:The goal is to compare the quality of post-cesarean analgesia, the side effects and the incidence of residual scar pain obtained with intrathecal morphine (reference treatment) or with a continuous intra-wound solution including both ropivacain and diclofenac (experimental treatment).
The purpose of the study is to compare post operative pain, cost effectiveness, speed of closure and patient satisfaction of Pfannenstiel incisions closed with metallic staples versus absorbable staples (Insorb) after Cesarean Delivery.
This is a comparative trial between oxytocin alone and dinoprostone for cervical ripening in unfavorable cervix pregnant women with 38 or more weeks of gestational age.
Objective: To determine the effect of non-closure of the visceral and parietal peritoneum during Cesarean section on the formation of adhesions. Study design: A prospective randomized trial of 533 women undergoing primary Cesarean section; 256 were randomized to non closure and 277 to closure of the peritoneum. At a subsequent cesarean,he presence of adhesions and their severity was evaluated at several sites: between the layers of the abdominal wall, between the bladder and the abdominal wall, between bladder and uterus, between the uterus and the abdominal wall, and between the bowels and the pelvic organs. A cumulative adhesion score was calculated.
Oral naproxen might be more efficacious for post-cesarean pain-control and have better side-effects profile than oral tramadol.
This study will randomly allocate 180 women undergoing elective C-sections under combined spinal epidural (CSE) Anesthesia at BC Women's Hospital to one of three groups: Standard Pillow under Head (Control), Head Elevated in Ramped Position immediately after regional anesthesia (HERP), or Head Elevated Ramped Position horizontally- Horizontal until establishment of anesthesia and then head elevated for the surgical procedure (HERP-H). The subjects will be monitored for blood pressure changes (hypotension), comfort levels and time to adequate level of the anesthetic block obtained with the CSE. The study will determine if positioning a parturient in the ramped position using an elevation pillow will significantly increase the time for anesthesia to reach the dermatome level of T4 as well as whether it increases maternal comfort and provides a better airway position for the parturient.
The purpose of this randomized double-blind study is to evaluate in which anatomical layer (AF versus BF) continuous wound infusion of local anesthetics combined with NSAIDs through a multiorifice catheter has the best effectiveness during the first 48 hours on postoperative pain intensity after elective cesarean delivery.
The investigators believe that irradication of nose colonization of staphyloccocus aureus will reduce the incidence of surgical site infections after cesarean section.
Women undergoing elective cesarean delivery, performed under a standard spinal anesthesia, will be randomized to undergo either TAP block or incisional infiltration with local anesthetic, in addition to standard postoperative analgesia comprising regular acetaminophen, nefopam and ketoprofen. Short acting oral morphine will be given as a rescue treatment in case of severe pain.
The purpose of the study is to determine if listening to your choice of music with a portable mp3 player before and after a cesarean section for delivery of a baby will decrease the patient's anxiety level.
