A comparative study of short and extended regimens of antibiotics for elective caesarean sections
Author(s): Sindhuri P and Bhargavi K
Abstract: Background and objective: A Caesarean section procedure often produces a wound that is free from dirt or any form of contamination. Antibiotics are mostly utilised to reduce parturition infections and related complications. Reducing the death rate and illness rate after surgical procedures. This study examined the efficacy of a brief regimen of antibiotics compared to the standard longer regimen commonly employed at a government tertiary care centre.
Method: This study was conducted as a prospective interventional study. The current investigation comprised a total of 150 participants who were randomised at random to two distinct groups. Each group consists of 75 persons. The participants were selected based on predetermined criteria for inclusion and exclusion. The study was conducted at Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Surabhi Institute of Medical Sciences. The study was conducted from March 2020 to February 2021. Result: According to the current study that has been referenced, the estimated occurrence of wound infection usually falls within the range of 3% to 5%. The research conducted by Robinson et al. investigated the correlation between risk variables and wound infection. The results suggested that those with extreme obesity had a greater likelihood of developing wound infections in comparison to those who were not obese.
Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that a shorter length of antibiotic treatment is just as effective as a longer duration of antibiotic treatment. There were no statistically significant differences seen between the two groups regarding febrile morbidity, wound induration, serous wound discharge, purulent wound discharge, wound gaping, or abnormal vaginal discharge.
