AI Article Synopsis
- - In 2010, 20% of all deliveries in France were via Caesarean section, and this rate has stayed consistent for the past decade, typically due to specific medical reasons like previous uterine scars or multiple pregnancies.
- - Although Caesarean deliveries can be necessary, they carry risks of surgical and anaesthetic complications, as well as potential issues both in the immediate post-op period and long-term, which can affect future pregnancies.
- - The approach of enhanced recovery after surgery aims to improve patient recovery times and streamline nursing care, focusing on a more patient- and family-centered care system.
Article Abstract
Caesarean delivery was performed in 20% of all deliveries in France in 2010 and this rate has remained unchanged during the last 10 years. Indications to perform this procedure are well defined, especially in case of scarred uterus, twin pregnancies, macrosomia or breech presentation. Surgical (haemorrhage, urinary or intestinal tract injury) and anaesthetic (hypotension after regional anaesthesia, difficult intubation and aspiration after general anaesthesia) complications may occur during the procedure. Complications may also be encountered in the early postoperative period (haemorrhage, infection, venous thromboembolism) but also on the long-term, such as placenta accreta or uterine rupture which may significantly impact obstetric outcomes. Enhanced recovery after surgery promotes early recovery and rapid convalescence. It simplifies nursing practice after surgery and is the first important step toward a patient- and family-centred care.

Cesarean sections (c-sections) are the most commonly performed surgery in the United States, and the country is currently facing a maternal health crisis. Surprisingly, women do not receive rehabilitation services to support the acute stages of c-section recovery. When someone undergoes a knee or hip replacement, it is standard practice for the physician to order home health services, including occupational therapy, for a client before they are discharged from the hospital.

Objective: A gluten-free diet (GFD) is becoming increasingly popular, especially among young females, and including those without diagnosed celiac disease (CD). Whether a GFD is appropriate during pregnancy remains unclear. Our primary aim was to evaluate the association of a GFD and neonatal birthweight and incidence of large for gestational age (LGA) and small for gestational age (SGA).

Background: Maternal hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) was associated with increased risk of congenital hypothyroidism in preterm infants, but its underlying mechanisms remain unclear.
Objective: To investigate the possible mechanisms by which intrauterine exposure to HDP affects thyroid hormone synthesis in preterm infant rats.

Aim: We sought to assess the effectiveness of using a breast pump for nipple stimulation to promote breastfeeding in the early postpartum period after c-section in women with full-term infants.
Methods: Selection criteria were individual and cluster randomized control trials and quasi-randomized control trials that compared using a breast pump combined with standard care to promote breastfeeding in the early postpartum period after c-section with standard care. In this systematic review, guided by the Cochrane Handbook, we conducted comprehensive searches across databases such as Medline, Embase, CINAHL, Cochrane Library, and PsycINFO (Search: April 22, 2024).

Background: The increasing awareness of the emotional consequences of emergency cesarean deliveries (C-sections) highlights their substantial role in fostering postpartum post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). This systematic review and meta-analysis aim to evaluate the prevalence and determinants of PTSD following emergency C-sections, as well as the implications of these events on maternal mental health and welfare.
Methods: Undertaking extensive searches of Scopus, PubMed, PsycINFO, and Google Scholar, we have incorporated studies published from 2013 onwards that examined the occurrence of PTSD following emergency C-sections.
