Abstract Background Early oral feeding (EOF) after cesarean delivery is still controversial. the present study is designed to compare early oral feeding versus delayed oral feeding in un complicated cesarean section in terms of time to return of bowel movement, to regular diet, durationof interavenous fluid, hospital stay and gastrointestinal effect Methods In this clinical trial, 200pregnant women who underwent elective cesarean section with regional anesthesia were randomized into two feeding groups. In the early oral and delayed oral feeding groups, liquid diets were commenced 6{u2009}h after surgery, respectively. Patients able to tolerate the liquid diet were then gradually introduced to the regular diet. Main clinical outcomes included satisfaction of patient, time to return of normal bowel function and postoperative gastrointestinal complications. Objectives To assess whether EOF is better after cesarean in terms of gastrointestinal function and satisfaction. selection criteria Randomized controlled trials comparing at least one of six outcomes after EOF (6 hours after surgery irrespective to bowel sounds) and DOF (after return of bowel sounds and drink water after 6 hours) after cesarean delivery were included. Data collection and analysis data were extracted using a predesigned extraction form. Risk ratios or mean differences were calculated. Main results Including 200 women who had undergone cesarean. Significant differences were identified in patient satisfaction and gastrointestinal function. Compared with DOF, EOF promoted a quicker return of bowel sounds, flatus, bowel movement, and regular diet P <0.001 for all |
