Influence of different incision protection styles on incision bacterial growth in cesarean section

Abstract

Objective To analyze the protective effects of different incision protection styles on incision bacterial growth of cesarean. Methods Totals of 300 patients of cesarean section were divided into three groups randomly with 100 patients in each group： group one which operation film was pasted after operation sheet draped, the operation film was pasted before operation sheet draped in group two, and traditional skin towel was applied in group three. Subcutaneous tissue fluid was dipped after skin incision and before skin suture in each patient. The tissue fluid was bacterial cultured, and the influence of different incision protection styles on incision infection in cesarean was judged according to the bacterial growth. Results The preoperational tissue fluid had no bacterial growth in group one, group two and group three （ X2 = 1.31 ,P 〉 0.05 ）. The postoperative tissue fluid had zero bacterial growth in group one, and one in group two, and seven in group three. The bacterial growth rate in group three was higher than that in group one and group two （ 11.67% vs 0% and 1.67 % ） （X2 = 4.69, P 〈 0.05 ）, but there was no significant difference between group one and group two （P 〉0. 05）. Conclusions The operation film pasted after operation sheet drape may be more effective on prevention of incision bacterial growth in cesarean section.
