Background and Objective: This study aims to investigate the impact of using and not using electrocautery during cesarean section surgeries on the bleeding levels and morbidity complications of pregnant mothers. The objective is to determine the efficacy of electrocautery in reducing bleeding and related side effects associated with this type of surgery.
Methods: This study is a clinical trial conducted on 110 pregnant women at the educational hospitals of Qom University of Medical Sciences. The patients were randomly divided into two groups: the intervention group (using a cauter) and the control group (not using a cauter). The sample size was determined to be 55 individuals in each group, considering the possibility of attrition. Information including age, gestational age, BMI, and medical history was extracted and recorded from the patient's files. Follow-ups were conducted the next day, ten days, and forty days after the cesarean section. Data were analyzed using SPSS software and appropriate statistical tests.
Results: No statistically significant differences were found between the two groups of patients regarding the mean age, gestational age, body mass index, number of pregnancies, type of cesarean, length of hospital stay, history of pregnancy-induced hypertension, and underlying diseases (P>0.05). In patient follow-ups, no wound infections were found in either group, and the frequency of bleeding between the two groups on days one, ten, and forty showed no statistically significant difference (P>0.05).
Conclusion: The levels of morbidity and bleeding associated with the use and non-use of electrocautery in cesarean sections showed no statistically significant difference.
