Abstract
A follow-up, double-blind study was performed to re-evaluate the effect of an 8 hour perioperative course of prophylactic antibiotics in 68 service patients undergoing cesarean section. The correlation between the initial and follow-up studies was good. In the combined investigations, 129 patients were evaluated. The over-all morbidity rate was 63 per cent in the placebo group and 25 per cent in the antibiotic group (p < 0.2 per cent). A highly significant decrease in wound infections and endometritis was found in the patients receiving antibiotics. Also, average hospital stay was less in the antibiotic group.
