Article Synopsis
- This study investigated whether using a 4% chlorhexidine solution for vaginal cleansing before cesarean delivery would reduce infectious complications in patients with ruptured membranes.
- It involved 204 patients who were randomly assigned to receive either chlorhexidine or a saline placebo before undergoing the surgery.
- The results showed that chlorhexidine significantly reduced the incidence of endometritis and puerperal fever compared to the placebo but showed no significant difference in surgical site infections.
