[Realization of Fast track surgery principles during cesarean section]

Area of Science:

• Anesthesiology
• Obstetrics
• Surgical Recovery

Context:

• Cesarean sections often involve prolonged postoperative recovery.
• Fast Track Surgery (FTS) protocols aim to expedite patient recovery.
• The anesthesiologist's role in FTS for Cesarean delivery requires evaluation.

Purpose:

• To assess the efficacy and safety of the Fast Track Surgery (FTS) program in planned Cesarean sections.
• To determine the specific role of the anesthesiologist in implementing FTS during Cesarean delivery.
• To compare patient outcomes under FTS versus traditional postoperative care.

Summary:

• A randomized study compared FTS (22 patients) with traditional care (22 patients) during Cesarean sections.
• Postoperative pain (VAS), Baevskiy index, and recovery markers were assessed.
• FTS demonstrated lower pain scores and improved recovery, with no significant difference in cortisol levels.

Impact:

• FTS significantly reduces postoperative pain and improves patient recovery following Cesarean sections.
• Anesthesiologist-driven FTS enhances perioperative management, leading to faster stabilization and reduced hospital stay.
• Optimized FTS protocols can decrease healthcare costs and improve the mother-infant bonding experience.
