It compared PPEP consumption and the occurrence of SSI after cesarean sections in monthly periods before and after the occurrence of the first case of COVID-19 in Porto Alegre, state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. Personal protective equipment and products consumption was measured as units of masks, gloves, gowns, and caps, and use of alcohol-based products or soap for hand sanitation as ml\/patient\/day. The SSI index was calculated as the proportion of cases of SSI over the number of cesarean sections performed monthly during the study period.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Results\u2003There was an increase in all measured items of PPEP, with consumption of disposable masks with a median of 1,450 units in the pre-COVID period, and of 2550 in the post-COVID period (a 75.9% increase). A decrease of 49% in SSI was detected, with a median of 1.74 in the pre-COVID period and of 0.89 in the post-COVID period.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Conclusion\u2003The increase in consumption of PPEP could be a result of safer practices adopted by healthcare workers with the advent of COVID-19, of which the following reduction in the occurrence of SSI could be a direct consequence. Despite the severity of the crisis, one could state that extreme situations can lead to valuable reflections and opportunities for improvement.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0041-1729144","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,6,28]],"date-time":"2021-06-28T22:33:51Z","timestamp":1624919631000},"page":"374-376","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Surgical Site Infection after Cesarean Delivery in Times of COVID-19"],"prefix":"10.61622","volume":"43","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4977-3819","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Vicente Sperb","family":"Antonello","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Prevention and Infection Control, Hospital F\u00eamina, Porto Alegre, RS, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1848-5670","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jessica","family":"Dall\u00e9","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Prevention and Infection Control, Hospital F\u00eamina, Porto Alegre, RS, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6205-5304","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ivan Carlos Ferreira","family":"Antonello","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Medical School, Pontificia Universidade Cat\u00f3lica do Rio Grande do Sul, Porto Alegre, RS, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6293-8684","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Daniela","family":"Benzano","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul, Porto Alegre, RS, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4341-2390","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mauro Cunha","family":"Ramos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sanitary Dermatology Outpatient Unity, State Health Secretariat, Porto Alegre, RS Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"47794","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,6,28]]},"reference":[{"issue":"11","key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1061","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.2020.1585","article-title":"Clinical characteristics of 138 hospitalized patients with 2019 Novel Coronavirus-infected pneumonia in Wuhan, China","volume":"323","author":"D Wang","year":"2020","journal-title":"JAMA"},{"issue":"21","key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"e63","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJMp2006372","article-title":"Universal masking in hospitals in the Covid-19 era","volume":"382","author":"M Klompas","year":"2020","journal-title":"N Engl J Med"},{"issue":"03","key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"242","DOI":"10.7861\/clinmed.2020-0143","article-title":"Evaluating the national PPE guidance for NHS healthcare workers during the COVID-19 pandemic","volume":"20","author":"J P Thomas","year":"2020","journal-title":"Clin Med (Lond)"},{"issue":"05","key":"ref7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"309","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ajic.2008.03.002","article-title":"CDC\/NHSN surveillance definition of health care-associated infection and criteria for specific types of infections in the acute care setting","volume":"36","author":"T C Horan","year":"2008","journal-title":"Am J Infect Control"},{"issue":"11","key":"ref8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"480","DOI":"10.5694\/mja18.00706","article-title":"Ignaz Philipp Semmelweis (1818-1865): herald of hygienic medicine","volume":"209","author":"E A Carson","year":"2018","journal-title":"Med J Aust"}],"container-title":["Revista Brasileira de Ginecologia e Obstetr\u00edcia \/ RBGO Gynecology and Obstetrics"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/journalrbgo.org\/article\/surgical-site-infection-after-cesarean-delivery-in-times-of-covid-19\/","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/www.thieme-connect.de\/products\/ejournals\/pdf\/10.1055\/s-0041-1729144.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,18]],"date-time":"2024-07-18T20:53:27Z","timestamp":1721336007000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/journalrbgo.org\/article\/surgical-site-infection-after-cesarean-delivery-in-times-of-covid-19\/"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2021,5]]},"references-count":5,"journal-issue":{"issue":"05","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,6,28]]},"published-print":{"date-parts":[[2021,5]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1055\/s-0041-1729144","archive":["Portico","CLOCKSS"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["0100-7203","1806-9339"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0100-7203","type":"print"},{"value":"1806-9339","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2021,5]]}}}
