Official title
A Pilot Study: To Compare Physical Activity After a Normal Spontaneous or Cesarean Delivery by Use of a Actigraph GT3X
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
To the best of the investigators knowledge the average level of physical activity (PA) of parturients recovering from a cesarean delivery or after a normal spontaneous vaginal delivery (NSVD) remains unknown. Taking in consideration that parturients are in a hypercoagulable state and that obstetric venous thromboembolism (VT) is one of the most common causes of maternal morbidity and mortality, ambulation is of utmost importance to anesthesiologists as well as obstetricians. In order to promote mobility, first the investigators need to learn the average parturients level of physical activity in the immediate post-partum period and up to 48 hours after delivery. This information may help us promote mobility in the immediate postpartum period, particularly for those that underwent a cesarean delivery since they are at higher risk of VT.
