Antibiotic Prophylaxis in Ragged Placental Membranes

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

In some centres, women are routinely given a course of antibiotics postnatally if ragged placental membranes were present at delivery. The investigators examined the necessity such an intervention.

Clinical Trial Description

Postpartum endometritis resulting in sepsis remain one of the leading cause of maternal mortality in developing countries. Ragged placental membrane is a risk factor for endometritis and is not infrequently encountered. Several hospitals in Malaysia, largely those geographically-removed currently practice administering prophylactic antibiotics for women with ragged placental membranes. The aim is to reduce the risk of postpartum endometritis in a subgroup of women who may present in dire straits. The investigators sought to examine the necessity of such protocols. ;
