Abstract
Antibiotic prophylaxis and febrile morbidity following non-elective Caesarean section were studied retrospectively. Febrile morbidity was found to be 5.4% in the treated group as compared to 20% in the untreated group. Percentage of endomyometritis was 2.2% in the treated group and 16% in the untreated group. Our results prove the efficacy of antibiotic prophylaxis in patients undergoing Caesarean section. Antibiotic application in 79% of all these patients led to a significant reduction in puerperal febrile morbidity and endomyometritis. Experience shows that positive results gained by the study do not have a positive feedback on the ward if there is lack of communication or reconfirmation.
