The risk of maternal mortality and morbidity (particularly postoperative infection) is higher for caesarean section than for vaginal birth. With the increasing rate of caesarean section, it is important that the risks to the mother are minimised as far as possible. This review focuses on different forms and methods for preoperative skin preparation to prevent infection.
As intermittent EFM and Doppler were associated with higher rates of caesarean sections compared with routine Pinard monitoring, women, health practitioners and policy makers need to consider these results in the absence of evidence of short- and long-term benefits for the mother or baby.
Menurut data WHO 2016, terdapat sekitar 830 wanita meninggal karena komplikasi kehamilan atau persalinan di seluruh dunia setiap hari. Pada tahun 2015, diperkirakan sekitar 303.000 wanita meninggal selama dan setelah kehamilan dan persalinan. Hampir semua kematian ini terjadi pada daerah dengan sumber daya rendah, dan sebagian besar bisa dicegah (WHO, 2016).
