Aim:
To evaluate the impact of the enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocol on maternal outcomes following emergency cesarean delivery (CD).
Materials And Methods:
The study was conducted at ACS Medical College and Hospital, Chennai, from September 2023 to September 2024. A total of 100 participants undergoing emergency cesarean deliveries were randomly assigned to either the ERAS group or the control group. Statistical analysis was assessed using an Independent t-test to compare the two groups.
Results:
Women in the ERAS group had a significantly shorter hospital stay (and higher maternal satisfaction). Postoperative complications were fewer in the ERAS group. Pain scores were lower at 6, 12, and 24 h post-surgery in the ERAS group when compared to the control group. The ERAS group also had faster bowel function recovery and earlier breastfeeding initiation.
Conclusion:
The ERAS protocol significantly improves maternal outcomes following emergency CD, including faster recovery, reduced pain, and improved maternal satisfaction.
