Summary

It is a randomized, single-blind clinical trial, whose population to be studied will be randomized patients with a diagnosis of dehiscence and infection of a cesarean surgical wound who meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria. H0: Sucrose does not reduce hospital days in patients with surgical wound dehiscence. HA: Sucrose reduces hospital days in patients with surgical wound dehiscence.

Detailed description

Cesarean section is one of the most performed surgical interventions at the Maternal and Child Hospital. Infection and dehiscence of the surgical site are some of the most common complications in post-cesarean section patients. The Honduran population, like those around the world, is susceptible to surgical site infections due to several risk factors and depends on each patient. Regarding the patients treated at the Maternal and Child Hospital, a surgical site risk of approximately 2-3% is estimated. Therefore, the investigators consider it beneficial to look for alternatives to treating surgical infections that help to reduce hospital time. Granulated sucrose has previously been used as a method for treating surgical wounds, however, no trial has been conducted to determine the benefits of its use. Therefore, the investigators consider that it will be beneficial for the Gynecology and Obstetrics service of the Maternal and Child Hospital, especially the Septic ward, to carry out a study that helps to determine if the use of granulated sucrose reduces the hospitalization time of patients with infection and dehiscence of the surgical site due to cesarean section, as well as replacing the use of other methods that must be paid for by the patients.

Conditions

• Surgical Wound Infection
• Cesarean Wound; Dehiscence

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	Clorhexidine soap	surgical wound will be washed with saline solution and 10 ml of chlorhexidine soap
OTHER	Sucrose	75 g of sucrose will be administered to the surgical wound at 8:00 am every day, once a day, and then it will be covered with sterile gauze.
