Cesarean Section Surgery

Pregnancy and the postpartum period increase venous thromboembolism (VTE) risk. After cesarean section, low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH; enoxaparin) is commonly used for short-term thromboprophylaxis, but it requires daily subcutaneous injections and can cause adverse effects. Direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) such as rivaroxaban offer convenient once-daily oral dosing. In women who meet institutional criteria for short-term postpartum thromboprophylaxis until hospital discharge, we will compare the laboratory anticoagulant effect of rivaroxaban versus enoxaparin using thrombin generation parameters. This randomized, open-label trial will enroll women undergoing elective cesarean section who are indicated for in-hospital prophylaxis. Blood will be drawn on postoperative day 2 at trough (pre-dose) and peak (\~3 hours post-dose) to measure thrombin generation, anti-Xa activity and drug levels, and participants will complete the Anti-Clot Treatment Scale (ACTS) satisfaction questionnaire. Safety follow-up will occur by telephone at 2 days post-discharge and at 6 weeks postpartum.

To determine the effectiveness of prophylactic intravenous calcium chloride administered after cord clamping in reducing postpartum blood loss during intrapartum cesarean section.

Persistent postoperative pain is a globally recognized issue that deserves attention. Cesarean section is one of the surgeries that may cause persistent postoperative pain. PSPP may affect communication between mother and baby, and may lead to postpartum depression, which has a negative impact on the daily activities and quality of life of mothers. It is an important clinical issue. The main purpose of this study is to (1) prospectively investigate the overall incidence and characteristics of persistent pain after cesarean section at 3, 6, and 12 months after surgery; (2) Use regression analysis and data modeling analysis to evaluate the relationship between perioperative variables and chronic pain in postpartum women undergoing cesarean section; (3) Analyze the relationship between chronic pain after cesarean section and postpartum depression in postpartum women.
