Intra-abdominal at Cesarean Section: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Nausea, Vomiting

In brief

The purpose of this study is to determine if intra-abdominal irrigation at the time of cesarean delivery increased maternal GI discomfort without affecting infection rates. We hypothesized that avoiding intra-operative irrigation at the time of cesarean delivery will decrease intra-operative nausea and vomiting without increasing maternal infectious morbidity, post-operative pain, return of bowel function, or time to discharge.
