Participant Flow

We calculated the total sample size from a pilot study. Assuming a power of 80% and 95% confidence, the sample necessary to conduct the study was 21 patients in each group of interest. As we considered 10% as maximum margin of loss during follow-up, there were 23 patients enrolled in each group.

Liberal Fluid Therapy
The liberal group will receive 1500 mL of crystalloid solution during the cesarean section. This is the non-intervention arm once that 1500 ml of crystalloid is the amount usually used during caesarean.
Restrictive Fluid Therapy
The restrictive group will receive 250 mL of crystalloid solution during cesarean section. Restrictive Fluid Therapy: The intervention in this randomized clinical trial is fluid restriction during cesarean section. The restricted group will receive 250 mL of crystalloid during surgery.
