Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
This randomized controlled trial will compare two different approaches to patient recovery after cesarean section: the current standard of care versus an alternate management protocol. The goal of this study is to investigate whether an "alternate management" protocol after cesarean sections will yield the same results as alternate management in other surgical fields, including decreased narcotic consumption and quicker return of bowel function, without compromising patient morbidity or satisfaction. The investigators will assess postoperative narcotic consumption as the primary outcome. Secondary outcomes will be return of bowel function, length of hospital stay, pain control, patient satisfaction, post-operative complications, and overall morbidity and mortality. Hypothesis: Initiating the alternate management protocol for cesarean sections will decrease narcotic consumption and hasten return of bowel function, without compromising patient satisfaction, level of pain control, or post-operative morbidity.
