Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative StudyInfluence of uterine exteriorization versus in situ repair on post-Cesarean maternal pain: a randomized trial.
This study was done to compare post-cesarean delivery pain associated with routine exteriorization of the uterus versus in situ uterine repair in the puerperium. ⋯ Exteriorization of the uterus for repair of the uterine incision increases the first- and second-night postoperative pain significantly in women undergoing cesarean section.

Case ReportsCaesarean section using total intravenous anaesthesia in a patient with Ebstein's anomaly complicated by supraventricular tachycardia.
Ebstein's anomaly is a rare congenital cardiac defect associated with both displacement and incompetence of the tricuspid valve. The condition is commonly complicated by supraventricular tachycardias. We describe the management of a patient with this condition undergoing caesarean section. Propofol and remifentanil total intravenous anaesthesia resulted in haemodynamic stability and delivery of a healthy baby who breathed spontaneously after two minutes.
