STUDY ROLE OF SURGICAL BUNDLE AND VAGINAL CLEANING IN PREVENTION OF POST-OPERATIVE INFECTION IN EMERGENCY LSCS IN OBESE WOMEN A PROSPECTIVE RANDOMIZED TRIAL

Abstract

Background: There is a constant raise in the caesarean sections in the past decade inadvertently bringing up the associated complications of surgery such as post-surgical infectious morbidity in form of SSI. The incidence of post-CS SSI worldwide is between 0.63% and 9.85%. whereas in India, it ranges from 3.1% to 24.2% . However, there is a significant lack of uniformity in the administration of antibiotics for preventing surgical site infections (SSI) following caesarean deliveries. Methodology: Study design: Prospective randomized interventional study. Study setting: Department of OBGY of District Hospital Billari.
