Description
Summary:This research aims to scrutinize the efficacy of glove changing as a strategy to diminish complications arising from cesarean deliveries in Vietnam. 629 expectant women were randomized into either the standard care group or the glove change group. The latter group adhered to an intra-operative protocol of glove replacement prior to abdominal closure during cesarean section, whereas the former group did not. Data pertaining to wound-related complications and surgical site infections were amassed and analyzed utilizing Stata 16.0. The study detected a significant decrease in wound-related complications and surgical site infections in the glove change group. As a result, this study advocates for the adoption of this strategy during cesarean section procedures, in conjunction with other interventions, to improve physical and mental health outcomes in women post-cesarean section.
