Filter by:This study is designed to compare the exteriorization of the uterus versus the in situ repair for closure of the hysterotomy incision with a completely standardized anesthetic protocol.
Incidence of hypotension is high in parturients after spinal anesthesia. Ephedrine could be used to treat hypotension but lead to lower fetal pH as well. This study is to compare the effects of norepinephrine and ephedrine on hypotension in parturients.
The purpose of this study is to test the hypothesis that vaginal cleansing with povidone-iodine solution immediately prior to cesarean delivery reduces postcesarean infectious morbidity.
The objective of this study is to compare scalpel vs. diathermy in abdominal wall incision in pregnant patients undergoing repeat elective cesarean delivery.
The purpose of the study is to determine if norepinephrine is more effective as a continuous intravenous (IV) infusion compared to continuous IV ephedrine associated with crystalloid loading for maintaining blood pressure during a spinal anesthetic for a cesarean delivery. Prevention of low blood pressure has been shown to decrease nausea and vomiting during and after cesarean delivery under spinal anesthesia. For elective cesarean delivery, all participants will receive spinal anesthesia with a local anesthetic and morphine. This study plans to enroll 120 pregnant women. Patients will be randomly assigned according to a computer generated system to be in one of two groups.
A comparison of the type of suture used for cesarean skin incision approximation and the subsequent rate of wound complications has not been widely studied. Investigators seek to compare poliglecaprone 25 and polyglactin 910 suture used in a subcuticular skin closure in Pfannenstiel incisions during cesarean birth and determine the subsequent wound complication rates (SSI, hematoma, seroma, wound separation).
To compare between the effect of controlled cord traction and manual removal of the placenta on blood loss among women undergoing caesarean sections
Opioid analgesic drugs are the main treatment of patients during anesthesia. Although highly effective, their use is not without problems. One is the increasing requirement of these address the same nociceptive stimulus. Opioid induced hyperalgesia could be an explanation studies in animal models. Through mechanisms where N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors, glutamatergic system disturbances and changes in intracellular calcium regulation involved. The hyperalgesia induced by intrathecal opioids is controversial. The investigators propose a model study in patients undergoing cesarean section to study the secondary hyperalgesia induced based on the study of nociceptive thresholds with two methods opioids: Von Frey filaments and digital algometer. If intrathecal fentanyl is used in spinal anesthesia for elective cesarean section, then, an increase in sensitivity will occur. This increase can be measured by von Frey filaments, expressed in increased requirement clinically opioids.
Cesarean scar defects (CSDs), i.e. deficient uterine scars following a cesarean section, involve discontinuity at the site of a previous Cesarean section scar. These anatomical defects have been reported to be associated with postmenstrual spotting, chronic pelvic pain and infertility. Few case series have suggested improved fertility (most probably by improving implantation of embryos) The aim of this study is to prospectively record embryonal implantation rate during IVF in patients with CSDs, and to evaluate the effect of hysteroscopic repair of CSDs on fetal implantation during IVF.
To determine the effect in the post operative period of early feeding (4 hours after surgery) vs. traditional management (feeding 12 hours after surgery) in uncomplicated cesarean section.
