About this study
Official title: Implementation of ERAS Protocol for Cesarean Delivery in Clinical Center Vojvodina
This study is designed to help us with ERAS (Enhanced Recovery After Surgery) Protocol for Cesarean Delivery implementation with goal to improve patient satisfaction and decrease length of stay at hospital. This will improve patient treatment and decrease total hospital costs.
Read the detailed description
ERAS assumes cooperation between obstetricians, anesthesiologists and parturient. This is the new concept because patient have an active role in the whole process. Pregnant patient receives the first information about ERAS from obstetrician and anesthesiologist before the scheduled cesarean delivery. Patient condition optimization is necessary. Antibiotic prophylaxis, no bowel preparation and arriving to the hospital on the day of surgery are basic principles. All patients are done under spinal anesthesia. DVT (Deep Venous Thrombosis) prophylaxis starts postoperatively. Early mobilization, early oral intake and urinary catheter removal on the day of surgery with multimodal analgesia is mandatory.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
ERAS protocolCombination product
No routine bowel preparation Antibiotics prophylaxis PONV (Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting) prophylaxis Spinal anesthesia Post- Cesarean analgesia (Acetaminophen 1g IV q6h, Tramadol 50mg IV q6h, Quadratus lumborum Block Oral pain relief medication Pain scores every day (VAS) Hospital length of stay Patient satisfaction
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| ERAS Group | Experimental | Perioperative management follows the ERAS (Enhanced Recovery After Surgery) protocol Receives: Combination Product: ERAS protocol |
| Control Group | Experimental | Perioperative management follows the conventional program Receives: Combination Product: ERAS protocol |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Post-Cesarean pain scoring
Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for pain assessment (scale from 0-10). Score 0 to 5 is satisfactory pain control. Score 6 to 10 is not a good pain control and is necessary to add medication.
Measured: Measured from postoperative day (PO) Day 0 to PO day 3 (72 hours)
Secondary outcomes (2)
Hospital length of stay
Length of stay might influence on cost savings. Investigator expects discharge hospital will be on the PO day 3.
Measured: PO Day 0 until time of discharge PO Day 3-4 (72-96 hours)
Post-partal depression development
Inadequate postoperative treatment could cause chronic pain which could be the reason for post- partal depression development. Six weeks after delivery investigator will call mothers for interview and fill the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale. Score 10 and more is suspect for depression risk.
Measured: Measured from the Cesarean Delivery to 6 weeks postoperatively
