Post-operative care after cesarean section

Post-operative care after caesarean section includes proper infusion of fluids, disinfection of wounds and movement of limbs. 1. Appropriate fluids: Because the mother’s body is depleted after cesarean section and she cannot eat immediately after delivery, it is necessary to replenish water, electrolytes and energy through appropriate fluids. 2. Wound disinfection: Cesarean section patients should check the surgical incision every day in the first few days after the operation, observe whether there is any oozing or redness in the abdominal incision, and need to disinfect and change the dressing on the incision regularly in order to avoid infection. 3. Move the limbs: In addition to turning over more after cesarean section, you should get out of bed as soon as possible to prevent intestinal adhesions and the occurrence of venous thrombosis of the lower extremities, and pay attention to the gentle movements when getting out of bed to avoid pulling the wound and causing pain. Cesarean section patients should adjust the diet, appropriate activities, and timely communication with health care personnel to avoid the phenomenon of wound inflammation.
