What this Trial Is About
Researchers are conducting a prospective observational study to understand how the length of fasting before an elective cesarean section affects the quality of recovery after surgery. The focus is on patients undergoing cesarean section with a low transverse incision under spinal anesthesia. The study aims to find out if fasting duration influences recovery quality, measured by a specific scoring tool called ObsQoR-11, along with other factors like nausea, vomiting, and pain. During the study, participants will have their fasting times recorded before surgery and will be assessed approximately 24 hours after their cesarean section using the ObsQoR-11 questionnaire. Researchers will also track additional outcomes such as nausea and vomiting during surgery, intravenous fluid and vasopressor doses, pain scores two hours after surgery, and opioid use within 24 hours. The data will be analyzed to see if fasting duration correlates with recovery quality and other recovery aspects. Participants will be observed throughout their surgical experience, with the main evaluation occurring about 24 hours after the procedure. This includes answering questions about their recovery and recording various clinical measurements related to their surgery and postoperative care. The study plans to include 100 patients, allowing researchers to analyze the relationship between fasting time and recovery in detail. The overall participation lasts for the surgery day and the immediate recovery period afterward.
