Summary
The purpose of this prospective randomised study was to determine the effect of routine cervical dilatation during elective caesarean section on maternal morbidity
Detailed description
Participants with indication for elective caesarean section were randomly allocated to two groups. Group A (n = 200) women with intraoperative cervical dilatation; group B (n = 200) women with no intraoperative cervical dilatation.Patients were randomised using computer-generated random numbers in sealed envelopes, to place them in one of the groups: group A (n = 200) women with intraoperative cervical dilatation; group B (n = 200) women with no intraoperative cervical dilatation. The investigator was not blinded to the procedure allocation. The allocated envelope was opened by the clinician just before the surgery. The procedure allocation was recorded in the women's charts.Antibiotic prophylaxis of 1 g of intravenous cefazolin or clindamycin 600 mg was given to each woman when the umbilical cord was clamped. In group 1 patients, the surgeon inserted his or her double-gloved index digit in the cervical canal to dilate it and removed the outer gloves after digital dilatation of the cervix.
