This study tested whether giving a dissolving tablet called misoprostol before a minor surgery could make the procedure more effective and safer. The surgery aims to fix a problematic scar in the uterus from a past cesarean section that causes prolonged bleeding and pain. Researc…

This study tested whether looking at a mother's neck veins and checking simple heart rate and blood pressure ratios could predict a sudden drop in blood pressure after receiving spinal anesthesia for a planned C-section. Researchers enrolled 60 pregnant women to see if these quic…

This study looked at whether using a copper IUD immediately after a first C-section, compared to starting birth control pills weeks later, affects how the uterine scar heals. It involved 750 first-time mothers who wanted postpartum contraception. Researchers used ultrasound scans…

This study tested whether cutting out the old scar from a previous C-section during a repeat C-section surgery could prevent a painful complication called a 'uterine niche.' 170 women having a repeat C-section were randomly assigned to either have the old scar removed or to have …

This study tested whether using warm air blankets on different parts of the body during a planned C-section could help prevent the mother from getting too cold and shivering. It also looked at whether this warming affected the baby's initial health scores and the mother's comfort…

This study compared two common hormonal treatments to see which works better for women experiencing abnormal bleeding from a scar left by a cesarean section. 166 women were randomly assigned to receive either birth control pills or a hormonal IUD for six months. Researchers track…

This study tested whether drinking a special energy drink before a planned C-section works as well as a warming blanket to prevent drops in body temperature during anesthesia. Researchers randomly assigned 302 healthy pregnant women to receive either the drink or the blanket. The…

This study aimed to find the safest amount of time to wait between having cesarean sections. Researchers looked at 201 women who had scheduled repeat C-sections and grouped them by how long it had been since their last one. They compared these groups to see if the time between su…

This study observed 649 patients who experienced severe bleeding (postpartum hemorrhage) during or after a cesarean delivery. The goal was to understand how often this happens, what treatments were used (like blood transfusions), and what health outcomes followed for both mothers…

This study aimed to understand how common poor sleep is for mothers in the first day after a cesarean delivery (C-section) performed with spinal anesthesia that includes morphine. Researchers observed 286 participants to identify what factors—like pain, medication side effects, o…
