00:02 | Welcome to the spoken tutorial on preparation for breastfeeding after C-section. |
00:09 | In this tutorial, we will learn about: |
00:12 | Benefits of skin-to-skin contact in the operating room and |
00:19 | Preparation for skin-to-skin contact after C-section. |
00:26 | In this tutorial, the Operating Room will be called OR. |
00:33 | Skin-To-Skin contact will be called STS. |
00:38 | Let us begin. |
00:40 | Early STS in the operating room is important for the mother and the newborn. |
00:47 | It could benefit them during the surgery and the immediate postoperative period. |
00:56 | It strongly affects their long-term and short-term health. |
01:03 | It makes breastfeeding easier. |
01:07 | During skin-to-skin contact, mothers are highly focused on their newborn baby. |
01:15 | This focus on the baby helps them feel less pain. |
01:22 | When they feel less pain, their anxiety level decreases. |
01:29 | This helps in maintaining normal heart rates of the mother and the baby. |
01:36 | This also helps in maintaining normal blood pressures of both. |
01:43 | During skin-to-skin contact, mothers and babies keep each other warm. |
01:51 | This helps in maintaining their normal body temperature. |
01:57 | So, STS should be done in the operating room immediately after delivery. |
02:05 | It is essential that the hospital staff is comfortable with the process. |
02:12 | For this, adequate and appropriate preparation is necessary. |
02:19 | Such preparation must be done both before and during the cesarean delivery. |
02:27 | It involves all those responsible for newborn care. |
02:33 | They include the mother and her immediate relatives. |
02:39 | They also include the doctors, |
02:42 | nurses
and the operating room staff. |
02:47 | Educate these people about the reason for introducing STS in the operating room. |
02:55 | Explain to them as to how the mother and newborn baby will benefit. |
03:03 | They may be anxious about beginning skin-to-skin contact in the operating room. |
03:10 | To reduce their worry, assure them of the safety of mothers and babies. |
03:18 | Safety and well-being of mothers and babies will always be the first priority. |
03:26 | Concerns arising in the operating room are to be calmly and clearly dealt with. |
03:34 | During the surgery, doctors may sense a medical emergency related to the mother. |
03:42 | In such cases, skin-to-skin contact in the operating room may not be completed. |
03:50 | The newborn will be taken up for requisite care in an appropriate setting. |
03:57 | Before the delivery, a nurse should be assigned to help in the operating room. |
04:04 | She should introduce herself to the mother. |
04:08 | She must confirm that the mother wants STS in the operating room. |
04:15 | Next, let’s discuss the steps to be followed in the OR, before the delivery. |
04:23 | In the operating room, the mother’s arms may be tied to the arm boards. |
04:29 | The arm board with the IV line is preferred to be tied to the left arm. |
04:37 | The other board with the blood pressure cuff is tied to the right arm. |
04:44 | In such cases, the assigned nurse can be helpful. |
04:50 | She should ask the doctor if the right arm can be released for STS. |
04:57 | She should tell the mother that this arm would be used to hold the baby for STS. |
05:05 | This arm will be straightened every few minutes to measure her blood pressure. |
05:12 | She must maintain the room temperature at 25 degree celsius. |
05:19 | This temperature is suitable for the baby’s arrival. |
05:25 | The nurse must ensure that the mother is not wearing a bra. |
05:31 | Mother’s gown should be unbuttoned. |
05:35 | This will help lower it easily to uncover her chest when placing the baby. |
05:42 | The nurse must notice the position of intravenous lines. |
05:49 | This will help her avoid them when placing the baby. |
05:54 | Lastly, she must keep a diaper or nappy, |
05:58 | warmed towels
and blankets ready. |
06:03 | They will be used to dry and cover the baby. |
06:08 | The preparation for skin-to-skin contact in the operating room is now complete. |
06:15 | How to start STS in the operating room is discussed in another tutorial. |

06:28 | This brings us to the end of this tutorial.
