Why the study?
Following patient feedback preferring earlier discharge after elective caesarean section, investigators hypothesised that a day 1 discharge pathway for low-risk women could benefit both patients and maternity unit services.
Does a fast-track pathway reduce length of stay and maintain satisfaction in low-risk women undergoing elective caesarean section?
Does a fast-track pathway reduce length of stay and maintain satisfaction in low-risk women undergoing elective caesarean section?
A fast-track pathway for elective caesarean section in low-risk women safely promotes day 1 discharge with high maternal satisfaction and potential financial savings.

ERAS pathway increased day 2 discharges after ELCS; hypothesis-generating and requires randomized confirmation before practice change.
