Brief Summary:
Randomised trial comparing the efficacy and feasibility of using a sterile closing pack to reduce postpartum sepsis
Detailed Description:
Pregnant patients meeting the inclusion criteria undergoing elective or emergency caesarean section will be eligible for recruitment. Patients will be randomised into two arms. In the control arm sheath and skin closure will be performed with the instruments used to perform the caesarean section, as per the current standard of care. In the intervention arm, after suturing the uterine incision and obtaining hemostasis and before commencing closure of the sheath and skin, the surgical team (obstetrician, assistant and scrub sister) will don clean sterile gloves, open clean sterile linen to drape on top of the existing linen and open a pack of clean sterile instruments to close the sheath and skin.
