NCT01479712 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 263

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

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.
