Brief summary

The aim of REHACESAR is to study the impact of an association of a low dose of neuraxial morphine and a locoregional anesthesia (TAP block or catheter for continuous wound infiltration) on quality of recovery after cesarean delivery under regional anesthesia. To assess the quality of recovery, women complete the self-questionnaire Quality Of Recovery (QOR)15 on D-1 (the day before cesarean, if elective), D+1, +2 and +3 after surgery. The QOR-15 is a 15 items questionnaire which provides a valid and efficient evaluation of the postoperative quality of recovery. REHACESAR is a prospective observational study. It takes place in the maternity of the CHR Metz-Thionville hospital.

Detailed description

Cesarean delivery is a very frequent surgical procedure. In France 20,4% of all births occur by cesarean section. Regional anesthesia (Spinal or epidural anesthesia) is the most common type of anesthesia for emergent or elective cesarean section. HAS guidelines on Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) include cesarean section. ERAS is a multimodal perioperative care pathway designed to achieve early recovery for patients undergoing surgery. The aim is to avoid factors which delay recovery: nausea and vomiting, pain, postoperative ileus… Postoperative analgesia is a key factor in ERAS because pain may prolong recovery and has a negative impact on rehabilitation. Among the multimodal analgesia we can use neuraxial morphine: epidural or intrathecal. Neuraxial morphine is effective for post-cesarean analgesia. Previous studies have attempted to determine the optimum intrathecal and epidural morphine doses. The aim is to provide the better analgesia with fewer side effects (pruritus, nausea and vomiting, ileus) Another way to provide analgesia is locoregional anesthesia: continuous wound infiltration and Transversus Abdominis Plane Block (TAP) block. The aim of REHACESAR is to study the impact of an association of a low dose of neuraxial morphine and a locoregional anesthesia (TAP block or catheter for continuous wound infiltration) on quality of recovery after cesarean delivery under regional anesthesia. To assess the quality of recovery, women complete the self-questionnaire Quality Of Recovery (QOR)15 on D-1 (the day before cesarean, if elective), D+1, +2 and +3 after surgery. The QOR-15 is a 15 items questionnaire which provides a valid and efficient evaluation of the postoperative quality of recovery. REHACESAR is a prospective observational study. It takes place in the maternity of the CHR Metz-Thionville hospital.

Inclusion criteria

* Pregnant woman, * operated on a scheduled cesarean under spinal anesthesia or urgent under epidural anesthesia, with use of perimedullary morphine

Exclusion criteria

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Comparison of the QOR-15 D1 post-caesarean score between six different groupsday1The QoR 15 score is a score of 15 items, each scored from 0 to 10. These items assess 5 dimensions of post-operative recovery: pain, physical comfort, functional autonomy, emotions and psychological support. These 15 items represent the quality of post-operative rehabilitation in its physical and mental dimensions

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Comparison between the different anesthesia groups of the post-operative period before resumption of gastrointestinal transit.day 3The corresponding criterion will be the time in hours between surgery and the resumption of a gas transit
