Background: Assessment of surgical site infection is an important factor to determine the functioning of the health care system. Objectives of this study was to estimate the incidence of surgical site infection among caesarean section cases and to determine the risk factors associated with surgical site infection and comparison with patients having healthy wounds.Methods: One thousand pregnant women who underwent caesarean section were divided into two groups: Group 1 (cases): Those who had SSI within 30 days of caesarean section and Group 2 (controls): Those who didn’t have SSI.Results: Mean age of group I was 25.35±4.40 and 21.12±3.60 years in group II (p >0.05). Mean gestational age of group I cases was 38.07±1.88 weeks and in group II, it was 38.17±2.06 weeks (p >0.05). A total of 37 (82.5%) women in group I and 931 (96.98%) women in group II underwent emergency caesarean section (p <0.05). In group I, mean duration of surgery was 1.0±0.13 hours and 1.02±0.21 hours in group II (p <0.05). Maximum number of patients i.e. 22 (55%) had wound discharge between 4-7 days followed by 11 (27.5%) between 8-10 days. Mean wound discharge was 7.32±3.45 days in group I. Majority of women, i.e. 27 (67%) found to be sterile in the present study followed by 7 (17.5%) women were found to have staphylococcus aureus.      Mean duration of resuturing was 17.42±6.98 days.  Mean baby weight in group I was 2.72±0.53 kg and in group II it was 2.95±0.53 kg (p <0.001).Conclusions: Risk of developing SSI after caesarean section is multi-factorial and found to be influenced by emergency surgery, PROM, pre-operative anaemia, multiple vaginal examinations, interrupted skin suturing, raised BMI, nulliparity, emergency caesarean, duration of surgery.

Background: Surgical site infection (SSI) is a common complication following caesarean section (C-section) and mainly responsible for increased maternal morbidity and higher treatment costs. This study will determine the incidence and risk factors of surgical site infections following caesarean section in Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH). Materials and Methods: This is a retrospective observational study which was conducted among patients having post caesarean surgical site infections attending post-natal outdoor clinic of DMCH from January, 2019 to December, 2019. Data were collected in structured questionnaire. Culturebased microbiological methods were used to identify causal agents in postoperative wounds. Results: Overall SSI rate following caesarian section was 4.44%.Patient related risk factors were inadequate antenatal check-up, emergency procedures, malnutrition (22.44%), anaemia (21.46%) associated comorbidity (59.46%), history of rupture membrane >12 hours (40.98%) and had history of prolonged labour pain >12 hours (16.10%).Surgery related risk factors were repeated per vaginal examinations by untrained birth attendant (21.95%) & duration of surgery>1 hour (62.93%). The most common organisms responsible for SSI were Staphylococcus aureus 44(21.46%) and Escherichia coli 31(15.12%). The most sensitive antibiotics were aminoglycosides, cephalosporin & cloxacillin. Conclusion: Most of the risk factors for surgical site infection following caesarean section identified in this study can be modified through intervention. However the microorganisms detected from our patient showed a high degree of resistance for commonly prescribed antimicrobials in our set-up.

Background: Lower uterine caesarean section is a common mode of delivery now and surgical site infection is one of the most common and dreaded complication of surgery. It is associated with significant morbidity and delayed recovery and it lengthens hospital stay and costs. Identifying risk factors for surgical site infection in caesarean wound and modifying them can be beneficial for patient management during surgery and optimizing good clinical outcome. Identifying microorganisms with their sensitivity has epidemiological as well as therapeutic implications. Objective: To identify risk factors for surgical site infection in caesarean section wound and find out microorganisms responsible for such infection. Materials and Methods: In this study 100 women with surgical site infection after caesarean section were included. They were selected randomly from four maternity units of Dhaka Medical College Hospital. Each patient of caesarean section was followed strictly up to discharge from hospital and also for 30 days postoperatively for any evidence of infection. Wound swab was sent in each case for microbiological study. Data were collected in structured questionnaire and analysed by computer using spreadsheet. Results: Among 100 women studied, 73% had inadequate or no antenatal check-up, 52% had duration of labour pain >12 hours, 52% had duration of ruptured membrane >12 hours, 94% women underwent emergency caesarean section, 62% had operation time >1 hour, 61% had haemoglobin level <60%, 46% women had intervention by untrained birth attendant, and 43% women had >500 mL blood loss during operation. In bacteriological study, microorganisms were identified in 55% cases, among them Staphylococcus aureus (20%), E. coli (11%), Acinetobacter (7%), Pseudomonas (6%) and Proteus (5%). During sensitivity test Staphylococcus aureus was mostly sensitive to ceftriaxone (50%) and amikacin (33%) and E. coli to amikacin (80%). In four cases (2 proteus and 2 pseudomonas) out of 55 organisms were resistant to all antibiotics. Conclusion: Most of the risk factors for surgical site infection during caesarean section identified in this study can be modified through intervention. However, the microorganisms detected from our patients showed a high degree of resistance for commonly prescribed antimicrobials in our set-up. J Enam Med Col 2019; 9(2): 90-96

BACKGROUND Caesarean section is one of the most common surgeries performed in women of reproductive age group. Postoperative surgical site infection (SSI) is the third most frequently reported nosocomial infection. Recovery after caesarean section can be more demanding for a woman who develops a post-operative surgical site infection that can even lead to death. Surveillance of surgical site infection is an important infection control activity. A better understanding of the spectrum of pathogens causing SSI as well as their susceptibility pattern is important for prompt management of patients. The main objectives of this study were to identify the bacterial agents causing postoperative wound infection in caesarean section, as well as determine the in-vitro antimicrobial susceptibility pattern of different bacterial isolates and also to examine the risk factors of postoperative caesarean infection. METHODS This is an observational (cross sectional study) where 100 cases of postoperative caesarean section wound infection admitted in the Department of Obstetrics & Gynaecology ̦ Silchar Medical College were studied. Pus samples were collected and cultured, and the pathogenic isolates were tested against different antimicrobial agents by standard disc diffusion method (Kirby-Bauer method) as per the recommendation of Clinical and Laboratory Standard Institute (CLSI) guidelines. RESULTS The study revealed Staphylococcus aureus 38.1 % of which 21.9 % were methicillin resistant (MRSA), as the most common organism responsible for SSI followed by Escherichia coli 23.8 % and Klebsiella pneumoniae 16.7 %. Staphylococcus aureus was 100 % sensitive to vancomycin and linezolid 78.1 % and 71.9 % sensitive to erythromycin and ciprofloxacin respectively. The most sensitive antimicrobials for Gram negative isolates were polymyxin B 96.2 %, imipenem 94.2 % and ciprofloxacin 76.9 %. Emergency C-section (83 %), premature rupture of membranes (PROM) 30 %, prolong labour 26 %, history of previous caesarean section 22 %, anaemia 15 % cases and BMI ≥ 25 (16 %) were found to be risk factors. CONCLUSIONS The findings of preponderance of Staphylococcus aureus and Gram negative bacilli in this study with good antibiotic sensitivity against the fluoroquinolone and aminoglycosides is of local clinical relevance.
