Summary

This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of glove changing in reducing complications of cesarean deliveries in Vietnam.

Detailed description

In Vietnam, the rate of Cesarean section (CS) is very high, ranging from 40-50%. Despite that, there are very limited publications concerning the risk factors, complications, and management of surgical site infection (SSI) following CS. Our study is the first to investigate the effectiveness of glove changing in reducing the incidence of post-operative infections in Vietnam. Specifically, the aims of this study are 1) to evaluate whether changing gloves during CS reduces complications and SSI, and 2) to identify other factors that are associated with complications and SSI.
