Can coffee consumption be used to accelerate the recovery of bowel function after cesarean section? Randomized prospective trial

Abstract

Objectives: To evaluate whether coffee consumption accelerates the recovery of bowel function after cesarean section or not. Material and methods: This study was designed as randomized controlled study. Patients were randomly assigned to one of two groups: Ultimately, Group 1 (n = 51) was the study group and drank three cups of coffee after cesarean, whereas group 2 (n = 52) was not given any treatment. The primary outcome measure was the time to first defecation after surgery, the secondary outcomes were time to first bowel movement, passage of flatus, time to toleration of a solid diet, additional antiemetic and analgesic requirement. Results: There were no significant differences in demographic variables between the groups. The mean time to passage of first flatus was significantly shorter in the study group than the control group (8.6 ± 3.3 h vs 11.3 ± 7.5 h, respectively; p = 0.022). First defecation was 20.7 ± 11.5 h for the study group and at 29.1 ± 14.3 h for the control group (p = 0.001). In addition, there was a significant difference in mean time to toleration of solid food between the study and control groups (8.78 ± 2.33 h vs 12.88 ± 4.2.60 h, respectively; p < 0.001). Conclusions: Coffee can be used in patients to enhance the recovery of gastrointestinal function after elective cesarean section.

Influencing Factors of Gastrointestinal Function Recovery after Gastrointestinal Malignant Tumor

“…Many scholars at home and abroad have conducted in-depth research on the influencing factors of gastrointestinal function recovery. For example, Bozkurt Koseoglu et al found through research that the ERAS concept can not only speed up the recovery of patients after surgery but also improve patients' recovery and quality of life [ 5 ]; Cao et al found that moxibustion is better than Western medicine nursing treatment [ 6 ]; Hu et al found through experiments that acupuncture and moxibustion are helpful for the early recovery of gastrointestinal function after surgery [ 7 ].…”

Effect of Postoperative Coffee Consumption on Postoperative Ileus after Abdominal Surgery: An Updated Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

“…Finally, 27 studies were included in the qualitative synthesis. The 27 studies comprised 9 ongoing trials (NCT 02510911, NCT02639728, NCT03143621, NCT03191877, NCT03712891, NCT04205058, NCT04547868, IRCT20200116046153N1, and CTRI/2021/04/033141), 5 protocols without results (NCT00130026, NCT01130675, NCT02250924, NCT03660267, and NCT03815877), and 13 clinical trials (1246 patients) [21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33]. Table 1 shows the characteristics of the included clinical trials.…”

“…Table 1 shows the characteristics of the included clinical trials. Of the 13 trials [21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33], 6 were on colorectal surgery, 5 on cesarean section, and 2 on gynecological surgery. The intervention was caffeinated coffee in 10 trials and decaffeinated coffee in 3 trials.…”

Abdominal Cerrahi Sonrasında Bağırsak Fonksiyonlarını Artırmada Farmakolojik Olmayan Yöntemlerin Kullanımı: Kanıtlar Ne Diyor?

“…Son 10 yılda ise ameliyat sonrası dönemde hastaların kahve tüketiminin bağırsak fonksiyonları üzerine etkilerinin incelendiği randomize kontrollü klinik araştırmaların arttığı belirlenmiştir. Bu çalışmalar kolorektal cerrahi [24][25][26][27][28] , jinekolojik cerrahi 29,30 geçiren hastalarla ve sezaryan [31][32][33][34] olan kadınlarla yürütülmüştür.…”

“…Literatürde spinal anestezi altında sezaryen doğum yapan kadınlarla yürütülen çalışmalarda kahve tüketiminin bağırsak fonksiyonlarını hızlandırmada olumlu etkilerinin olduğu belirlenmiştir [31][32][33][34] . Bu çalışmalarda hastalara kahve verilme sıklığı günde üç kez olup miktarı 100 ml olarak düzenlenmiştir.…”
