Etiketa erantsi | Gaia: | Cesarean sections performed in the 18th and 19th centuries had an extremely high maternal mortality rate. After this procedure, the most common complication is infection, which occurs in approximately 19.7% of cases, with a risk of 5 to 10 times higher than in vaginal delivery. Puerperal infection remains one of the leading causes of morbidity, making it necessary to establish parameters that ensure quality care to reduce post-cesarean infection. Currently, the infection rate of post-cesarean surgical wounds varies from 2.5% to 16.1%, depending on the evaluated population, as determinants such as bacteria and the host's resistance to infection directly influence the outcome. Objective: To explain antibiotic prophylaxis for the prevention of surgical infection in post-cesarean patients treated in the Gynecology and Obstetrics Department of Hospital General Puyo. Methodology: The timely application of an antibiotic prophylaxis protocol for the prevention of surgical infection in post-cesarean patients treated in the Gynecology and Obstetrics Department. Results: The evaluation results showed that 100% of nurses are knowledgeable about antibiotic prophylaxis and recognize its importance, yet only 88% feel confident in applying for it. The same 88% indicated that they do not administer prophylaxis on time. It is important to note that the mere creation of a prophylaxis protocol is not sufficient; teamwork and coordination among staff are essential to provide the high-quality care that every patient expects. |
