Summary

The current standard of care to prevent post partum infectious morbidities is to administer antibiotic prophylaxis to all women undergoing a cesarean delivery. The general practice is to administer the antibiotic immediately after the umbilical cord is clamped. This study will compare the incidence of post partum infectious morbidities when the extended spectrum prophylaxis given before the incision time vs. the time of cord clamp.
