Brief Summary: Peri-medullary anesthesia is the preferred anesthetic technique for Caesarean surgery Compared with general anesthesia it reduces maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality as well as postoperative pain However this technique exposes the patient to the adverse effects of peri-medullary morphine particularly the risk of postoperative urinary retention Urinary retention during the first 72 hours after Caesarean section affects around 33 of parturients

This is a particularly debilitating event for parturients exposing them to the risk of further urinary catheterization increased theoretical risk of urinary tract infection traumatic urethral injury hindered accelerated rehabilitation and altered maternal satisfaction

Several studies have demonstrated the benefits of adding magnesium sulfate to epidural anesthesia for Caesarean sections notably by reducing postoperative pain

Magnesium sulfate may also have a facilitating effect on postoperative micturition thanks to its sympathicolytic effect

This hypothesis is supported by a retrospective study carried out in our maternity hospital which showed a 15 reduction in post-Caesarean urinary retention when women were given magnesium sulfate in addition to the drugs traditionally used for epidurals

This little-known property needs to be clarified
Detailed Description: The main objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of the addition of epidural magnesium sulfate in reducing the occurrence of acute post-Caesarean urine retention

In fact the incidence of acute urine retention after epidural anaesthesia for Caesarean section is around 33 Two encouraging studies suggest that adding magnesium sulfate to epidurals could reduce the incidence of acute urine retention by 15

This study will be carried out on the obstetric population of the REIMS maternity hospital starting in summer 2024 It is a randomized double-blind placebo-controlled clinical trial The number of subjects required is calculated at 290 patients with a power of 80 and an alpha risk of 5 The statistical hypothesis is that magnesium sulfate reduces the incidence of acute urine retention by 15 compared with placebo isotonic saline

Parturients will be informed of the study during a pre-anaesthetic consultation in the 6th month of pregnancy

Some of these patients will be scheduled for delivery by caesarean section The remaining patients will be scheduled for a vaginal delivery which may end up being an emergency caesarean section 10-15 of patients

After the Caesarean section patients are taken to the post-procedure monitoring room where they are monitored for 2 hours

It is at this point that patients are examined to verify the inclusion and non-inclusion criteria of the protocol If the inclusion and non-inclusion criteria are met our teams will provide patients with explanatory documents on our protocol as well as a consent form for their signature

When the patient agrees to enter the protocol the investigators randomize her to one of the following groups

Group A injection of morphine 2 mg into the epidural catheter magnesium sulfate 500 mg
Group B injection of morphine 2 mg into the epidural catheter isotonic saline

Group B is the control group This is the protocol we use in daily practice for parturients who have undergone Caesarean section in line with the French recommendations of anesthesia societies

This reduces the parturients postoperative pain for 20-24 hours Group A will be the experimental group Patients will be monitored in the post-natal care unit for 72 hours The investigators will carry out the same monitoring and care as a parturient outside the protocol Various data on diuresis the quantity of urine in the bladder visualized by ultrasound and the need for urinary catheterization will be recorded

Statistical analyses will determine whether the incidence of acute urine retention differs between each group
