Title: The Effect of Preventative Application of Antibiotics in the Perioperative Period of Cesarean Section on Preventing Postoperative Infection
Abstract: Objective To investigate the effect of preventative application of antibiotics in the perioperative period of cesarean section on preventing postoperative infection. Methods 386 puerperants with cesarean section admitted to our hospital from November 2013 to March 2014 were selected and randomly divided into the observation group and control group, with 193 cases in each group. The observation group was given rapid intravenous drip cefazolin sodium 30 min before operation, and then given the same dose within 12 h after the operation. The control group was given cefazolin sodium intravenously for 3-5 d after the operation. The postoperative body temperature, wound infection rate, poor uterine involution rate and postoperative hospital stay were observed and compared between the two groups. Results The time of returning to normal body temperature after the operation of the observation group was(34.25±7.67)h, and that of the control group was(35.31±8.36) h, the difference between the two groups was not statistically significant(P0.05); The wound infection rate, poor uterine involution rate and postoperative hospital stay were significantly better than those of the control group [1.55% Vs. 6.21%; 3.11% Vs. 8.81%;(5.3±1.2)d Vs.(7.6±1.5)d; the differences were statistically significant(P0.05). Conclusion Preventative application of antibiotics in the perioperative period of cesarean section has many advantages such as less antibiotics dosage, short administration time, no adverse reactions and rapid postoperative recovery, which has a significant effect on preventing postoperative infection.
