Abstract
(BJOG. 2917;124:123–131) Feeding regimens postcesarean vary among institutions and across published trials. In addition, there is a lack of existing evidence to justify withholding oral fluids after uncomplicated cesarean sections. In fact, guidelines from the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) in the United Kingdom state “women who are recovering well after cesarean section and who do not have complications can eat and drink when they felt hungry or thirsty.” This recent randomized trial was carried out to evaluate outcomes following immediate full feeding compared with “on-demand” feeding after cesarean section. The investigators hypothesized that immediate feeding would lead to more rapid restoration of body functions and quicker postoperative recovery without increasing adverse outcomes, resulting in increased patient satisfaction.
