Brief Summary: Early initiation of oral feeding within 6-12 hours post-caesarean section has been noticed to be well tolerated by patients and helps them recover fast Our study aimed to evaluate the tolerability safety and benefits of early oral feeding post-caesarean section
Detailed Description: BACKGROUND Early initiation of oral feeding within 6-12 hours post-caesarean section has been noticed to be well tolerated by patients and helps them recover fast However the traditional method of waiting for 24 hours to commence oral feeding post-caesarean section is still being widely practiced due to the fear of post-operative ileus Though some studies have shown this fear to be unfounded early initiation of oral feeding is not yet universally accepted

OBJECTIVES To evaluate the tolerability safety and benefits of early oral feeding post-caesarean section

STUDY DESIGN AND SETTING This was a randomized control trial equivalence carried out at Alex Ekwueme Federal University Teaching Hospital Abakaliki Nigeria

METHODS Three hundred and six eligible women randomized into groups Aearly and Btraditional feeding group were admitted into the post natal ward after elective or emergency caesarean section Women in group A were commenced on graded oral sips 6 hours post- caesarean section and subsequently soft diets from the 12th hour after oral sips were well tolerated while those in group B were commenced on the same regimen as in group A 24 hours post-caesarean section

MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE Time of return of bowel sound time of resuming normal diets duration of hospital stay and post-operative complications ANALYSIS Data obtained were analyzed using the computer software IBM SPSS version 26 Frequency tables were made and results tested for significance using the t-test for continuous variables and Chi-square test for categorical variables Relative risk RR was also determined with confidence interval set at 95 and the level of significance determined by p-value 005
