title: [Post-caesarian precocious eating-ingested matter tolerance].
abstract: This is a report on a modification of a protocol at the Catalonian General Hospital which received a prize in the Annual Scientific Prize Contest in the nursing category. The objective of this study consisted in determining whether or not precocious eating/digestion is well-tolerated without significantly increasing gastrointestinal morbidity by patients who have undergone a caesarian. The authors carried out a prospective study to evaluate precocious eating-digestion tolerance in women who had a caesarian under local anesthesia, spinal or peridural. This study concluded that there is no significant increase in noxious effects on normal intestinal functioning, the initial time for peristalsis diminished and the wellbeing of patients who start precocious post-caesarian oral feeding increased in a subjective form.
