Background: The frequency of Caesarean section increased from 5% to 15% across the world. According to statistics, it is highest in the U.S. or around 24%, and then in Canada about 20%, in Denmark about 13%, 10% in England, and it is lowest in Japan 7%. Post-cesarean section women experience pain due to operative trauma. Individual variability of postoperative pain is influenced by multiple factors, including sensitivity to pain, psychological factors, age, and genetics. Cesarean delivery patients have even more compelling reasons to achieve optimal postoperative pain relief than other surgical patients, but they also present unique challenges. Post cesarean delivery patients are at a higher risk for thromboembolic events, which may also be precipitated by immobility from inadequate pain control or excessive sedation from opioids. Objectives: This research aimed to describe pain intensity among women with post-cesarean Section. Methods: This research conducted at an obstetric ward in Hasan Sadikin Hospital, Bandung, West Java, Indonesia with 60 women with postcesarean section. Instrument used Visual Rating Scale (VAS) for pain measurement. A descriptive Study with Mean±SD for univariate analysis Result: Pain intensity among women with post-caesarian section were mild pain level with mean of pain level was 2.8. Women with mild pain level as much as 81,6%. Conclusions: As a nurse, can be considered as a nonpharmacological intervention to reduce the pain of cesarean section effectively and to decrease the number of medications and their side effects.

ABSTRACT Background. Cesarean section is an artificial birth, in which the fetus is born through an incision in the abdominal wall and uterine wall and the weight of the fetus is above 500 grams. Impacts that occur after caesarean section are pain and sleep disorders. Aim. To know the relation of pain intensity with sleep quality of mothers post cesarean section. Research methods. Using cross sectional approach. The sample of the study were 42 post-cesarean mothers taken by accidental sampling technique. The data was collected at RS TK. II Dustira Cimahi using Maternal Pain Questionnaire (MPQ) questionnaire for pain intensity measurement and The Sleep Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) for sleep quality measurement, in May 2017. Data analysis using Chi-Square test . Results. The highest intensity of pain occurred in the client after cesarean section with severe pain intensity with 22 respondents (52,4%) and uncomfortable there were 20 respondents (47,6%) and more than most client experience poor sleep quality that is 28 respondents ( 66.7%) but there are still clients who experienced good sleep quality 14 respondents (33.3%). The statistical test results obtained p significance number p = 0,000 thus p <α (0.000 <0.05), then H0 is rejected. Conclusion.

Background: Severe postoperative pain is a significant problem after cesarean sections. Methods: This study was a randomized, controlled trial of 105 patients conducted in two hospitals. All patients were anesthetized spinally for elective cesarean section. Each participant was randomly allocated to one of three study groups: the quadratus lumborum block (QLB) group, the transversus abdominis plane block (TAPB) group, or the control (CON) group. The primary outcome of this study determined acute pain intensity on the visual analog scale (VAS). The secondary outcomes determined morphine consumption and chronic pain evaluation according to the Neuropathic Pain Symptom Inventory (NPSI) after hospital discharge. Results: At rest, the pain intensity was significantly higher in the CON group than in the QLB and TAPB groups at hours two and eight. Upon activity, the pain in the control subjects was more severe than in the QLB and TAPB groups in three and two of five measurements, respectively. Moreover, morphine consumption was significantly lower in the QLB (9 (5–10)) and TAPB (10 (6–14)) groups than in the CON (16 (11–19)) group. Persistent postoperative pain was significantly lower in the QLB group than in the CON group at months one and six following hospital discharge. Conclusions: Both the QLB and TAPB can improve pain management after cesarean delivery. Moreover, the QLB might reduce the severity of persistent postoperative pain months after cesarean section.

• Small bowel obstruction, is a rare complication following cesarean section, due to herniation of bowel through the rectus sheath. • This is a case of uncomplicated primary cesarean section. The incidence of small bowel obstruction after caesarean section is very low. • In a population-based cohort study, the risk of small bowel obstruction among women with a cesarean delivery was 16.3/10,000 person-years versus 6.4/10,000 person-years in women without caesarean delivery (odds ratio [OR] 2.54, 95% CI 2.15-3.00); and an increasing number of cesarean deliveries was associated with an increasing risk of small bowel obstruction (OR 1.61, 95% CI 1.46-1.78, per additional cesarean delivery)(1).

Objectives One theory about acupuncture suggests that pathological processes can cause measurable changes in electrical skin resistance (ESR) at acupuncture points (APs). Although the theory has yet to be proven, ESR measurements (ESRMs) form a frequently used part of contemporary acupuncture. The aim of this study was to test the so-called ‘electrical responsiveness’ of APs in the setting of a defined operative trauma. Methods ESRMs (n=424) were performed at the APs and surrounding skin of GB34 and ST38 in 163 participants using an impedance meter array developed for the purpose of ESRMs. For each group the percentage of measurements with a significantly different ESR between the APs and the surrounding skin was calculated and compared with each other. Measurements of four groups were compared: healthy control subjects (n=30) and patients after ophthalmic (n=29), hip (n=42) and shoulder (n=30) surgery. The influence of postoperative pain intensity was also assessed. Results Group comparison showed no significant differences for ST38. The ESRMs at GB34 had a significantly higher percentage of measurements with an increased ESR after ophthalmic (23.2%) and hip (22.2%) surgery, but not after shoulder surgery (7.5%). Subgroup analysis showed that an increase in pain intensity tended to lead to a decrease in the number of APs with ESR changes. Conclusion These results suggest that reactive changes in ESR at APs might exist. Pain and alertness seem to have an impact on ESR at APs. However, the current data do not allow for conclusions to be drawn concerning the clinical use of ESRMs.

Abstract: Obesity is a problem throughout the world and is commonly found among women in the region of Southeast Asia. Obesity in pregnant women increases the risk of complications associated with an increasing incidence of caesarean section and a decreasing incidence of vaginal delivery. This study aimed to determine the comparison of caesarean section and vaginal delivery in pregnant women with obesity. This was a descriptive study with a cross-sectional approach. This study used data of the patients’ medical record. Samples were all pregnant women with obesity (BMI ≥30 kg/m2) at the end of pregnancy who underwent caesarean sections and vaginal deliveries in Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou Hospital Manado from January 2014 until October 2015. The data were processed by using the Microsoft Excel. The results showed that the number of pregnant women with obesity was 926 and of pregnant women who underwent caesarean section was 50.22%. Pregnant women with obesity in the age group over 30 years, nutritional status obese II and III, and body weight over 85 kg were more frequent in undergoing the cesarean section. Conclusion: The higher BMI, body weight, and age of a pregnant woman, the higher risk of undergoing cesarean section compared to vaginal delivery. Keywords: BMI, obesity, caesarean section, vaginal delivery   Abstrak: Obesitas merupakan masalah yang mendunia dan paling banyak dialami oleh wanita di wilayah Asia-Tenggara. Obesitas pada wanita hamil meningkatkan risiko terjadinya komplikasi yang berhubungan dengan peningkatan angka kejadian persalinan seksio sesarea dan penurunan kejadian persalinan pervaginam. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui perbandingan persalinan seksio sesarea dan pervaginam pada wanita hamil dengan obesitas. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode deskriptif dengan pendekatan potong lintang. Penelitian dilakukan dengan melihat catatan rekam medis pasien. Sampel penelitian ialah seluruh wanita hamil dengan obesitas (IMT ≥ 30 kg/m2) pada akhir kehamilan yang menjalani persalinan seksio sesarea dan pervaginam di RSUP Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou Manado dari bulan Januari 2014 sampai Oktober 2015. Data yang diperoleh diolah dengan menggunakan Microsoft excel. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa jumlah wanita hamil dengan obesitas 926 orang dan yang menjalani seksio sesarea sebanyak 50,22%. Wanita hamil dengan obesitas pada kelompok umur di atas 30 tahun, status gizi obes II dan III, serta kelompok berat badan lebih dari 85 kg lebih banyak menjalani persalinan seksio sesarea. Simpulan: Semakin meningkat IMT, berat badan, dan usia seorang wanita hamil, maka semakin tinggi risiko menjalani persalinan seksio sesarea dibandingkan pervaginam.

In obstetrics, the rate of caesarean section has consistently expanded globally.Generally, after caesarean section the solid food has been stopped to women for 1st 24 hoursso that it could avoid gastro intestinal complications. Mostly in all the cesarean section caseswas operated by regional anesthesia where in little intestinal manipulation and short operativetime. The aim of this study is to know that the gastrointestinal effect on early feeding versusdelayed feeding after uncomplicated cesarean section and the better practice as well asadvocated in future. Objective: Evaluation of the gastro intestinal effects with early feedingis better than delayed feeding after cesarean delivery. Study Design: Randomized controlledclinical trial. Setting: Obstetrics & Gynaecological Department, Liaquat University Hospital,and Hyderabad. Period: January 2012 to January 2013. Methodology: A total number of352 women uncomplicated emergency or elective cesarean section under spinal anesthesiawas included in this study. Consenting women were randomly assigned into two groups suchas early feeding group and delayed feeding group. Any complaint about anorexia, nausea,vomiting, abdominal discomfort and abdominal distention on physical examination was noted.Results: Rate of ileus, anorexia was significantly low in early feeding groups as compare todelayed feeding group while rate of vomiting and abdominal distension were not significantbetween groups. Average time of first bowel sound and time of passage of flatus and passageof stool were significant between groups. Conclusion: In conclusion, early feeding fastens therecovery and lowers complication rate.
