ClinConnect Summary
This clinical trial is looking at how well patients manage pain and recover after having a planned cesarean delivery, which is a surgery to deliver a baby. The researchers want to see how different mixtures of spinal anesthesia affect pain relief and recovery for women undergoing this procedure. If you are a woman aged 18 or older, taller than 160 cm, and in good health (physical status I or II), you may qualify to participate. Eligible participants will be those scheduled for an elective cesarean delivery at Ospedale Regionale Bellinzona Valli.
If you choose to join the study, you will receive a specific type of spinal anesthesia during your surgery and will be monitored for several hours afterward to assess your pain relief and recovery progress. It's important to note that women who cannot give consent, refuse to participate, have certain health issues, or are having an emergency cesarean delivery will not be eligible for this trial. This study aims to improve pain management and recovery experiences for future mothers, making it an important step in obstetric care.
