Brief summary describing the background
and objectives of the trial
|
Background: Current evidence has dispelled the traditional practice of withholding oral nutrition until return of bowel function following uncomplicated caesarean section. Early initiation of oral feeding post-caesarean section has been demonstrated to be safe and beneficial for postoperative gastrointestinal function and patient recovery.
Objective: To evaluate the safety and benefits of immediate oral feeding on postoperative gastrointestinal function and patient recovery in comparison to early feeding (current practice) following uncomplicated caesarean sections at the Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospitals Complex, Ile-Ife, Nigeria.
