Summary

The objective of this study is to compare the effect on mean maternal and neonatal pH, and 24-hour postoperative morbidity, following intraoperative infusion of Ringer's Lactated versus normal saline in caesarean section at Mulago Hospital.

The null hypothesis is that intraoperative infusion of Ringer's Lactate in caesarean section at Mulago Hospital will not result in 30% less mean maternal and neonatal pH change than intraoperative infusion of normal saline.
