Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Women aged 18 or older undergoing elective cesarean delivery with planned spinal anesthesia, able to read Turkish, and able to provide informed consent.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who do not follow the ERAC protocol or have factors interfering with recovery may not experience improved recovery quality.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This prospective observational study will enroll 150 women undergoing elective cesarean delivery with spinal anesthesia to see if adherence to ERAC protocols relates to recovery quality. Recovery will be measured 24 hours after surgery using the Turkish Obstetric Quality of Recovery-10 questionnaire. Additional outcomes include pain levels, opioid use, nausea, mobilization, oral intake, breastfeeding, and patient satisfaction. The study will analyze associations between protocol compliance and these recovery outcomes. Only Turkish-speaking, ASA II-III patients without exclusion criteria will be included at Bursa City Hospital.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If adherence to ERAC protocols is linked to improved recovery, patients may experience better early recovery and symptom control after cesarean delivery.
How similar studies have gone: Previous research in enhanced recovery programs for cesarean deliveries has shown benefits in some settings, but results vary by context and implementation.
