How to ventilate quickly after cesarean section?

Women who have undergone cesarean section generally experience abdominal distension after delivery, so timely ventilation is required. Abdominal distension is mostly caused by gastrointestinal irritation during surgery, which results in slower gastrointestinal motility. However, the ventilation time after cesarean section is different for each woman because her physical condition is different. However, ventilation must be done quickly after cesarean section, so how to ventilate quickly after cesarean section?

The duration of ventilation for a woman after a caesarean section is generally 24 to 48 hours. In order to ventilate, in addition to considering your own physical condition, you also need to use some methods or tricks. For example, drinking radish water can help ventilate quickly, doing exercises in bed, and having family members help with abdominal massage. If allowed, you can also do exercises under the bed with the help of family members. These methods can promote maternal ventilation.

First, if the woman has not passed gas 6 to 8 hours after the operation, she can eat a small amount of liquid food, preferably water or lotus root powder. Avoid gas-producing foods such as milk. Only after the anus is exhausted can you gradually increase your diet. Avoid eating too much food to increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract. Generally, women will pass gas 24 hours after a cesarean section, and any abnormal situation needs to be dealt with in a timely manner.

Second, after cesarean section, mothers are encouraged to get out of bed and move around early, which is beneficial to the recovery of gastrointestinal function. Generally, they can get out of bed and move around the next day after the operation. Early getting out of bed and moving around will cause low blood pressure. The main symptoms of pregnant women are black eyes or dizziness. They can move along the edge of the bed with the help of family members. The amount of activity should be gradual and cannot be achieved all at once.

Third, after a cesarean section, if there is no abnormal uterine bleeding within 6 hours, women can do moderate bed activities. On the one hand, this can promote the recovery of gastrointestinal function, and on the other hand, it can prevent the occurrence of pressure sores and varicose veins. They can turn left and right in bed or move their lower limbs.

Fourth, the mother can promote the recovery of gastrointestinal function with the help of family members. Family members can put five fingers together and use the strength of the palm to rub the mother's gastrointestinal tract clockwise to promote perinatal canal peristalsis. It can take ten to fifteen minutes at a time, but attention should be paid to the location to prevent uterine bleeding.

Women who have undergone cesarean section also need to do a good job of recovery. Generally speaking, it takes 24 to 48 hours for women to ventilate, so mothers should not be anxious. They should take good care of themselves in time, consider their physical condition, and treat themselves with the right attitude. This way, they can ventilate in time after delivery and prevent some intestinal complications.
