Filter by:This prospective randomized controlled study examines whether the type of glove used (sterile vs clean) for cervical examination to assess progression in labor impacts the rates of intrapartum and/or postpartum infection in patients during labor or induction of labor at term.

The goal of this study is to identify whether antibiotics given at the time of placement of an intrauterine balloon tamponade (IBT) will result in reduction of the risk of endometritis. The investigators hypothesize that antibiotics given at the time of intrauterine balloon tamponade will reduce the likelihood of postpartum endometritis.
Chronic endometritis (CE) is a persistent inflammation of the endometrial lining caused by the infection of the uterine cavity mainly by bacterial pathogens. It is known that CE can produce implantation failure, recurrent abortion and preterm labor. The study hypothesis is that patients who have repeated implantation failures (RIF) despite transferring good quality and normal embryos, diagnosed by preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD), into a receptive endometrium, diagnosed by Endometrial Receptivity Analysis (ERA), may present asymptomatic CE, being the altered endometrium the main cause of these implantation failures. The current diagnosis of CE is the microbiological culture of endometrial biopsy samples. Alternatively, examination of the uterine cavity by hysteroscopy is effective at 93.4%. However, both methods have limitations, such as the time needed to obtain the diagnosis, the economic cost of the tests, the possibility of detecting microorganisms in culture etc. For these reasons, the developing of a simple, fast, cheap and minimally invasive diagnostic tool for CE patients subjected to IVF treatments is expected. It would be very useful in order to establish a specific treatment and improve pregnancy rates in infertile patients. For this reason, the bacterial DNA present in the endometrial fluid samples will be obtained and the identification of the causative pathogens of CE will be done by sequencing (NGS) and/or quantitative PCR with specific oligonucleotides for the most common bacteria causing CE. The validation of this new method will be performed by comparison with the microbiological diagnosis of those same patients.
The investigators are doing this study to learn more about the dosing and safety of ertapenem in women with suspected serious infections less than 42 days from the delivery of their infant.
To determine if prophylactic postpartum antibiotics are required post-cesarean delivery for pregnancies with treated chorioamnionitis.
The objective of the project is to find out whether cleansing the vagina before a cesarean delivery decreases the risk of complications and infections after having the baby. If this is the case, cleansing the vagina before cesarean delivery can help improve outcomes for many women and make their early postpartum recovery much more pleasant, giving a healthier start for the family.
