Clinical Trial Summary

This will be a single-center randomized control trial comparing the efficacy of two different formulations of Chlorhexidine surgical skin preparation in preventing cesarean section wound infections. Participants will be randomized to either 4% Chlorhexidine Gluconate aqueous solution (CHG) or 2% Chlorhexidine with isopropyl alcohol (CHG-IPA) 70% to examine the risk of infectious morbidity in those undergoing cesarean delivery. There will also be a cost-effectiveness analysis of the two preoperative skin preparations.
