Perioperative Nursing Interventions for a Morbidly Obese Patient Undergoing a Cesarean Section in the Ramp Position: A Case Report.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
This case report describes a multidisciplinary perioperative nursing intervention for a morbidly obese woman in her 30s (BMI 50.9) undergoing elective cesarean section. The patient had severe obstructive sleep apnea and orthopnea, making the conventional supine position unsafe. A preoperative simulation involving obstetricians, anesthesiologists, surgical nurses, and clinical engineers was conducted to evaluate the feasibility of performing the surgery in the ramp position. The team also prepared emergency response protocols using a photo-based manual and preassembled equipment. During surgery, the patient was successfully positioned in the ramp position and underwent spinal anesthesia. Due to inadequate pain control, sedation was initiated, which led to respiratory depression requiring bilevel positive airway pressure (BiPAP) support. No intraoperative or postoperative complications, such as pressure injuries or nerve damage, were observed. The patient reported no psychological distress related to the positioning or simulation. This case highlights the importance of simulation-based planning and interprofessional collaboration in ensuring surgical safety for high-risk patients. Surgical nurses played a central role in coordinating the simulation and intraoperative care, emphasizing their contribution to perioperative team performance. This report offers a practical model for managing complex obstetric cases involving morbid obesity through nursing-led simulation and tailored patient-centered care.
