2 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
In women that undergo non-emergency cesarean delivery, we are comparing the skin preparation solutions for best outcome of surgical site infection. The three different solutions are: Group 1: Iodine povidone based skin preparation solution. Group 2: Chlorhexidine based skin preparation solution or Group 3: Combination usage of iodine povidone and chlorhexidine based skin preparation solutions. Women are prospectively randomized to one of the three groups and followed until thier postpartum visit at 6-8 weeks following delivery.
Postpartum infection if a major cause of maternal morbidity and mortality and surgical site infections are some of the common complications following cesarean section. This study aims to determine the effect of Steri3X on the incidence of cesarean section SSI at Regional One Hospital.
