Abdominal Ice Application After Cesarean Section
Sponsor: Nigde Omer Halisdemir University
Summary
Cesarean section is one of the most commonly performed surgical procedures worldwide, and effective postoperative pain control is important for maternal recovery and patient comfort. This randomized controlled study evaluated whether intermittent abdominal ice application after elective cesarean section could reduce postoperative pain and opioid consumption. Eighty patients undergoing cesarean delivery under spinal anesthesia were randomly assigned to receive either intermittent abdominal ice application in addition to standard multimodal analgesia or standard postoperative care alone. Postoperative pain scores, opioid consumption, patient satisfaction, and postoperative recovery outcomes were evaluated during the first 24 postoperative hours.
