MARTINEZ-MARTINEZ, Crescencio; GARCIA-DE LA TORRE, José Ignacio  y  CEPEDA-NIETO, Ana Cecilia. Evaluation of post-cesarean infection control through the implementation of a preventive program. Ginecol. obstet. Méx. [online]. 2019, vol.87, n.4, pp.228-233.  Epub 07-Mayo-2021. ISSN 0300-9041.  https://doi.org/10.24245/gom.v87i4.2859.

OBJECTIVE:

An estimates the incidence and risk factors associated with infections in caesarean sections before and after the implementation of the preventive program.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:

Non-experimental quantitative study of a prospective cohort type. The study population were women they finished the pregnancy by caesarean section during the period of october 2015 to october 2016. Three preventive measures were performed to reduce the risk of postoperative infections: prophylactic antibiotic, preoperative vaginal lavage with iodopovidone and urinary catheter removal at the end of the surgery a follow-up was performed at 7 days identifying patients with infected wound, endometritis and sepsis. The results will be analyzed using the SSPS software versión 21.

RESULTS:

A total of 103 women were incorporated into the protocol. The incidence of postoperative infections was 1.9% for wound infections, 1.0% dehiscence and 0% endometritis. A comparative analysis was performed of incidences of surgical site infection, endometritis, sepsis and surgical wound dehiscence, prior to the preventive protocol (year 2015) and after the implementation of preventive measures, and we observed a reduction of endometritis from 1.9% to 0% and of the surgical wound infection from 2.4% to 1.9%.

CONCLUSION:

The preventive program integrated by the use of prophylactic antibiotic, preoperative vaginal lavage with iodopovidone and urinary catheter removal at the end of surgery, reduced the rate of post-cesarean puerperal infections.
