Preoperative vaginal cleansing with chlorhexidine solution in preventing post ‐cesarean section infections in a low resource setting: A randomized controlled trial

ConclusionsVaginal cleansing with 1.0% chlorhexidine gluconate solution before emergency cesarean section appears to be effective in reducing rates of post ‐cesarean section infectious morbidity in the study area. We recommend its use among women undergoing cesarean section to help reduce the contribution of infections to a poor obstetrics outcome.
