Abstract

Background: When medically needed, caesarean section (CS) is one of the most frequent major surgical operations, saving the lives of both mother and child. Aim of the work: This randomised controlled clinical experiment was done on a total of 150 pregnant women getting elective CS under spinal anaesthesia at the Ain Shams University Maternity Facility, a tertiary hospital, between June 2021 and March 2022. Results: The current analysis revealed no statistically significant differences in age, gestational age, or parity between the analysed groups. The time to ambulation, intestinal sound, passing flatus, and passing faeces were statistically substantially shorter in the early eating group, according to this study. Consequently, the early feeding group had a considerably greater rate of ambulation and bowel movements. Only variations in abdominal distension were statistically significant. In neither group was ileus paralysis recorded. This study revealed that patients in the early feeding group were much happier. Conclusion: Early feeding following an uncomplicated caesarean delivery was associated with a lower frequency of ileus symptoms, a shorter mean time to the first bowel movement, and greater mother satisfaction. This, together with the absence of gastrointestinal issues, indicates that early oral feeding is preferable to late oral feeding. In light of these encouraging findings, it is suggested that we abandon the customary approach to eating.
