Abstract:
Background:
Patient satisfaction is an important measure of the quality of health care and is used as an outcome measure in interventional and quality improvement studies.
Objective:
To determine the level of satisfaction in terms of intra-operative pain and postoperative nausea, vomiting, and backache among patients receiving spinal anesthesia for cesarean section.
Methods:
Controlled trials that compare spinal anesthesia for cesarean section. Criteria for considering studies for this review, all published randomized. The types of participants were women having a spinal cesarean section.Types of interventions were spinal techniques used to provide anesthesia for cesarean section. Combined spinal‐epidural techniques are excluded.
Types of outcome measures, the main outcome of interest will be the provision of adequate anesthesia during surgery.
The difference in time taken for surgery to commence between epidural and spinal patients was determined where possible (when means and standard deviations were provided).
There are fifteen related articles, in which we chose five articles that are more related to the topic literature review, all these articles are taken from two websites (google scholar and PubMed).
Conclusion:
Most of the patients were satisfied with their experience with spinal anesthesia although there was a higher frequency of postoperative backache.
