Comparing the course of anxiety in women receiving their first or repeated caesarean section: A prospective cohort study
2020, Women and BirthCitation Excerpt :However the physical detriments for the women are part of everyday consent and further also psychological side effects accompany this intervention.12 Additionally, high preoperative anxiety levels before a CS have been shown,13,14 which are linked to slower recovery from the CS, higher post caesarean pain levels and reduced satisfaction.15,16 There are several reasons why women are in need of aCS such as anomalies of the fetal presentation and cephalopelvic disproportion to name two of the most common ones.11,17
Guideline-recommended 15° left lateral table tilt during cesarean section in regional anesthesia - Practical aspects An observational study
2016, Journal of Clinical AnesthesiaCitation Excerpt :Most patients feared sliding or falling; reduction of tilt by just a few degrees reestablished comfort. CS is a stressful experience for the patient [16] and discomfort or fear further increases stress levels. Our answer was to advise our interdisciplinary staff to establish a tilt of 10° to 15° which would be acceptable to the patient.
