Résumé : | The objective of this study was to determine whether vaginal cleansing prior to caesarean section should be offered to all women, as a way of preventing postnatal infections and morbidities. It is the role of the midwife to adopt evidence-based practice, and research indicates that 'cleansing' or 'preparing' the vagina prior to caesarean section considerably reduces postnatal infections, particularly endometritis. With national and international caesarean rates rising to up to 30%, it is imperative that women are protected as much as possible from adverse outcomes. |
