The new review in the @IJGOLive, provides evidence-based strategies to prevent these infections – including antibiotics 30–60 mins before surgery, vaginal & skin antiseptic prep, safe surgical practices, like glove changes after placental delivery and early recognition and rapid treatment to save lives. 🌍 With 75,000 maternal deaths annually linked to sepsis, implementing these practices is critical. 📖 Read the full review and help improve maternal outcomes worldwide: ow.ly/LZzw50WUKgx @Edbuggie #MaternalHealth #Caesarean #SepsisPrevention
