Study Overview

Intervention / Treatment
Detailed Description
Study Population:
Women undergoing cesarean sections will be enrolled in this study after obtaining verbal consent as there are no extra interventional measures that will be undertaken in the study apart from routine investigations and procedures done during cesarean sections, being already approved in signed consent to undergo treatment.
The nature and aim of the work will be fully discussed to all women who will agree to participate in the study. Verbal consent will be obtained from all patients enrolled in the study which is approved by the local ethical committee.
Preoperative evaluation of patients included:
Medical history taking including:
- Personal (name, age)
- Complaint (in patient word)
- Present history
- Medical history (Diabetes mellitus, Hypertension)
- Past history (any surgeries)
- Family history
- Physical examination including vital data (blood pressure,pulse, temperature)
- Routine hematologic laboratory tests including complete blood picture & random blood sugar.
- The surgical site will be assessed at least once before cesarean section if the participant presented to emergency department with findings concerning for surgical-site infection.
- Indication for cesarean section.
- Duration of ruptured membranes if found.
- Risk of infection including Diabetes mellitus, immuno-compromised, rupture of membranes and corticosteroid therapy.
Steps:
Patients In the study group (povidone iodine group) patients will be prepared with vaginal cleansing with povidone-iodine along with the usual abdominal scrub. Vaginal cleansing will be done with 3 gauze pieces soaked with 10% povidone iodine in a sterilized bowl and the scrub will be done from the vaginal apex to introitus with attention to the anterior, posterior and lateral vaginal wall. After vaginal cleansing the gloves will be changed to perform the abdominal scrub.
Patients in the control group (no vaginal cleansing group) will not have any vaginal wash (even tap water will not be used).
In both groups, patients will receive preoperative per protocol prophylactic I.V. antibiotics (third generation cephalosporin ) before skin incision.
Operative technique:
During this study all cases will be subjected to exclusion and inclusion criteria. Any risk of infection will be assessed including rupture of membranes, Diabetes mellitus, immune-compromised and corticosteroid therapy….etc. Cesarean section will be performed with estimation of operative duration in time and mean operative blood loss.
Post operative care:
Follow up for temperature of 38°C and greater during first 24 hours of surgery and endometritis will be diagnosed by fever 38.4°C and greater with any of the following (uterine tenderness ,foul smelling lochia or positive C-reactive protein).
Mean hospital stay in days will be determined. N.B: Culture of the upper genital tract are virtually impossible to obtain without contaminating the specimen by the microorganisms in the vagina. Therefore, they rarely add significant information that enhances clinical decision-making.
