Abstract

Cesarean sections are associated with a high risk of postoperative infections, making timely and appropriate antibiotic prophylaxis essential. Hence, a six-month study of 100 patients found 85% compliance with recommended guidelines, with SSIs (Surgical site infections) occurring in 3% of timely cases versus 9% in delayed cases. Deviations, such as delayed administration or inappropriate antibiotic use, modestly increased infection risk. Key factors in reducing SSIs were timely antibiotic delivery and appropriate selection. Improved training, surveillance and audits are recommended to enhance compliance so as to ensure safe obstetric surgical practices.
