Trial Outcomes & Findings for Antimicrobial Dressing Versus Standard Dressing in Obese Women Undergoing Cesarean Delivery (NCT NCT03887299)

NCT ID: NCT03887299

Last Updated: 2021-10-05

Results Overview

We will be assessing through a survey patient satisfaction concerning dressing received and assess the quality of life while receiving either intervention (5 point Richter scale). A maximum score of 5: Strongly agree and a minimum score of 1: Strongly disagree. A higher score means a better outcome.

Measure
Standard Wound Care
Wound dressing and care as per our current practice. Compression dressing consisting of gauze, tefla and adhesive tape will be placed intraoperatively. Dressing will be removed after 24 hours from surgery completion and subjects will have an absorption pad with overlying garments for the remaining postoperative days until standard postoperative visit for wound check. Standard Wound Care: Wound care will be administered as standard protocol in our institution
CHG Wound Care
ReliaTect™ Post-Op Dressing will be applied as per the manufacturer's instructions intraoperatively. The dressing will be in place until the postoperative clinic visit on postoperative day 7. ReliaTect™ Post-Op Dressing (contains chlorohexidine gluconate or CHG): Dressing will be applied in the operating room at the end of case and be in place until postoperative day 7
