Abstract
Childbearing Poster Presentation starting the intravenous line, and monitoring the fetal heart tones. The outcome of this project shows that the surgical site infection rate after cesarean dropped from 2.6% to 1.5% during the quarter in which the project was implemented. Because of the reduced infection rate, costs are reduced for patient readmissions to the hospital and repeat visits to a physician’s office for surgical site care. Implications for Nursing Practice Implications for nursing practice involve a onestep preoperational warming process that takes place during the preoperative period with a forced air warmer for scheduled cesareans. This practice takes place during the time the nurse is doing other tasks to prepare the patient for surgery. On admission to the PACU, fewer nursing interventions are required to treat hypothermia after the surgery.
