Detailed Description
The patients were subjected to history taking, including age, parity, menstrual history for verification of gestational age and medical history for confirmation of inclusion and exclusion criteria. Full general and abdominal and obstetric examinations were done. Investigations including complete blood picture, liver functions and coagulation profile to exclude those not fitting with the above listed criteria. Ultrasound was done to assess gestational age.
Patients were checked for coagulation abnormalities. Large gauge (18G) cannula was inserted in cephalic or ante cubital veins. Patients were preloaded with HAES- steril 6% (hydroxyl ethyl starch) Fresenius. Or, preloaded with ringer's lactate 20 ml/kg. Patients were positioned in the sitting position for spinal anaesthesia and sterilization of the back was done using Betadine. L3-L4 space was determined for the insertion of spinal needle. Then 25G spinal needle was used to perform a single shot spinal anaesthesia using 10mg of 0.5% hyperbaric Bupivicaine and Fentanyl 20 micrograms.
All surgeons had close surgical skills and used the same technique transverse lower segment incision.
The procedure is then completed using traction on cord to deliver the placenta, exteriorization of uterus, closure of uterine incision in 2 layers, closure of both visceral and parietal peritoneum, closure of rectus sheath, no subcutaneous closure and finally subcuticular skin closure. Follow up for all cases for 48 hours. Primary outcome parameters were VAS score and the need for additional analgesics. Other parameters were hemodynamic changes and occurrence of side effects or complications.
