Abstract :
The main objective was to determine the
factors, techniques and methods that influence the
prevention of infections in operative wounds by cesarean
section. For this, a systematic review was carried out,
with the purpose of configuring a theoretical foundation
whose scientific basis contributes to nursing practice
worldwide. The methodology applied for this systematic
review started from a search strategy where the
inclusion and exclusion criteria were identified, the
specification of the fundamental keywords for the
organized exploration of the publications through
medical search engines: Pubmed, medigraph, Scielo,
Dialnet, Elsevier, with a maximum seniority of 5 years in
Spanish and English. As a result, a selection of 30 highimpact articles was obtained. The main variables were
related to infections at the surgical site, caesarean
sections, post-caesarean wounds, care and prevention of
wound infections. The main findings show a multiplicity
of risk factors associated with this type of infection that
can be prevented through the appropriateness of
antibiotic prophylaxis, correct hair removal,
maintenance of normothermia, assessment of functional
patterns, maintenance of normoglycemia, Performing
cultures and haemociliants in the event of clinical
suspicion of possible wound infections and active
surveillance of post-cesarean section SSI Among the
conclusions, it is worth highlighting that the
characterization of infections in cesarean section wounds
and the identification of associated risk factors allow us
to understand the importance of application of
prevention techniques and methods that, from nursing
practice, can be applied to avoid postoperative
complications in cesarean section such as wound
infections.
