| Conditions: |
|
Cesarean Section - Surgical Wound Infection - Endometritis |
| Purpose: |
|
Previous studies have demonstrated that patients who undergo surgery while they under
general anesthesia have fewer wound infections if they receive higher concentrations of
oxygen but this has never been studied in women who are undergoing cesarean section. We
plan to randomize women who are undergoing cesarean to receive either standard of care
oxygen flow through a nasal cannula during their cesarean section only or a higher
concentration of oxygen than they would typically receive through a face mask. Women will
receive this therapy during their cesarean and for 2 hours afterwards. We will follow them
after their surgery for evidence of infection either in their wound or their uterus.
