Official title
A Randomized Control Trial of Chlorhexidine Gluconate Aqueous Solution vs Chlorhexidine Gluconate With Isopropyl Alcohol Skin Preparations for Prevention of Cesarean Section Wound Infections
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
This will be a single-center randomized control trial comparing the efficacy of two different formulations of Chlorhexidine surgical skin preparation in preventing cesarean section wound infections. Participants will be randomized to either 4% Chlorhexidine Gluconate aqueous solution (CHG) or 2% Chlorhexidine with isopropyl alcohol (CHG-IPA) 70% to examine the risk of infectious morbidity in those undergoing cesarean delivery. There will also be a cost-effectiveness analysis of the two preoperative skin preparations.
