Enhanced Recovery Protocol After Cesarean Section

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of implementing the Enhanced Recovery After Cesarean (ERAC) protocol on maternal and neonatal outcomes. Research hypotheses To fulfill the aim of the study, the following research hypotheses are formulated: Hypothesis I: Women who receive the ERAC protocol experience faster recovery compared to those who receive routine hospital nursing care. Hypothesis II: Women who receive the ERAC protocol experience fewer maternal and neonatal complications than those who receive routine hospital nursing care.

Inclusion Criteria: * Women undergoing planned cesarean delivery. * Scheduled to receive neuraxial anesthesia. * Gestational age of 37 weeks or more. * Singleton pregnancy. Exclusion Criteria: * Women requiring additional interventions outside the Enhanced Recovery After Cesarean (ERAC) pathway, including severe coagulopathy or active infection. * Women expected to require prolonged hospitalization because of a history of uterine rupture, pre-existing hypertension, pregnancy-induced hypertension, or placenta accreta.
