Foot and Ankle Edema Post-Cesarean Delivery

NCT00488956 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 35

Last updated 2014-03-18

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Some women develop swollen feet and ankles after a cesarean delivery. These women will often complain that their shoes are too tight and their feet may become numb or they may have some tingling in their feet.

Currently we do not know for sure that foot swelling occurs after a cesarean delivery and if it does what the cause is.

If we find that feet do swell after a cesarean delivery we may be able to suggest a cause. This may in the future prevent women developing excessive foot swelling.

We aim to investigate whether the size and shape of women's ankles do change following an elective cesarean delivery. We plan to investigate, if possible, the cause of any foot swelling after a cesarean whether it be the volume of intra venous fluids or oxytocin use.
