Anesthetic Technique and Quality of Recovery After Cesarean Delivery

The goal of this prospective observational study is to evaluate whether the type of neuraxial anesthesia is associated with postoperative quality of recovery in adult women undergoing cesarean delivery. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does postoperative Obstetric Quality of Recovery differ according to the neuraxial anesthetic technique used for cesarean delivery? Researchers will compare women receiving spinal anesthesia, epidural anesthesia, or combined spinal-epidural anesthesia to determine whether the anesthetic technique is associated with differences in postoperative quality of recovery.

Inclusion Criteria: Age ≥18 years Undergoing cesarean delivery Willingness to participate in the study Providing written informed consent Exclusion Criteria: Contraindication to neuraxial anesthesia Conversion to general anesthesia Inability to understand or complete the Obstetric Quality of Recovery questionnaire Patients who are unable to breastfeed or hold their newborn due to the infant's admission to the neonatal intensive care unit after delivery Major intraoperative or postoperative complications that may independently affect recovery assessment Missing or incomplete 24-hour postoperative QoR assessment
