Antimicrobial Dressing Versus Standard Dressing in Obese Women Undergoing Cesarean Delivery
Antimicrobial Dressing Versus Standard Dressing in Obese Women Undergoing Cesarean Delivery: A Randomized Control Trial
Study Overview
Status
Conditions
Detailed Description
Subjects requiring cesarean delivery and without exclusion criteria will be informed by the obstetrical team about the study and asked for permission to contact the study personnel. Written informed consent will be obtained by person-to-person contact. The research staff will be responsible for the informed consent.
Subjects who agree to participate in the study will be randomized to one of the two groups below in a 1/1 allocation:
- Standard Wound Care: Wound dressing and care as per our current practice. Compression dressing consisting of gauze, tefla and adhesive tape will be placed intraoperatively. Dressing will be removed after 24 hours from surgery completion and subjects will have an absorption pad with overlying garments for the remaining postoperative days until standard postoperative visit for wound check.
- CHG Wound Care: ReliaTect™ Post-Op Dressing will be applied as per the manufacturer's instructions (Appendix A) intraoperatively. The dressing will be in place until the postoperative clinic visit on postoperative day 7.
The remainder of the subjects' care will be similar for both arms and will follow current standard clinical practice at the University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB).

Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
PLACEBO_COMPARATOR: Standard Wound Care
Wound dressing and care as per our current practice.
Compression dressing consisting of gauze, tefla and adhesive tape will be placed intraoperatively.
Dressing will be removed after 24 hours from surgery completion and subjects will have an absorption pad with overlying garments for the remaining postoperative days until standard postoperative visit for wound check.
|
Wound care will be administered as standard protocol in our institution
|
ACTIVE_COMPARATOR: CHG Wound Care
ReliaTect™ Post-Op Dressing will be applied as per the manufacturer's instructions intraoperatively.
The dressing will be in place until the postoperative clinic visit on postoperative day 7.
|
Dressing will be applied in the operating room at the end of case and be in place until postoperative day 7

What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Satisfaction and QoL Questionnaire
Time Frame: Postpartum wound care visit (up to 10days postpartum)
|
We will be assessing through a survey patient satisfaction concerning dressing received and assess the quality of life while receiving either intervention (5 point Richter scale). A maximum score of 5: Strongly agree and a minimum score of 1: Strongly disagree. A higher score means a better outcome. |
Postpartum wound care visit (up to 10days postpartum)
|
Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Number of Participants With Composite Wound Complication
Time Frame: 30 days postpartum
|
Defined as presence of any of the following within 30 days from surgery: Wound infection: Presence of either superficial or deep incisional SSI described as cellulitis/erythema and induration around the incision or purulent discharge from the incision site, with or without fever, such as necrotizing fasciitis (diagnosed based on necrotizing wound infection).
Wound hematoma, seroma, or breakdown alone.
(yes or No)
|
30 days postpartum
|
Number of Participants With Wound Breakdown
Time Frame: 30 days postpartum
|
Opening of wound incision documented in the chart at the provider's discretion(Yes or No)
|
30 days postpartum
|
Number of Participants That Resulted in Maternal Death
Time Frame: 4 days postpartum
|
Death of participant during hospital stay (Yes or No)
|
4 days postpartum
|
Number of Participants With Puerperal Fever
Time Frame: 4 days postpartum
|
Temperature > 100.4oF after first 24 hours or ≥101 oF any time.
(Yes or No)
|
4 days postpartum
|
Provider Satisfaction
Time Frame: Postpartum wound care visit (up to 10days postpartum)
|
Assessing health care providers opinion on the dressing care (5 point Richter scale). A maximum score of 5: Strongly agree and a minimum score of 1: Strongly disagree. A higher score means a better outcome. |
Postpartum wound care visit (up to 10days postpartum)
