Why should pregnant caesarean section prepare skin? The authoritative answer is here this time

Before the caesarean section, the nurse will prepare the skin for the woman. A lot of expectant mothers will feel embarrassed when they learn about this. Many expectant mothers don't understand why they should prepare skin when they have children. In fact, it is for the sake of the health of the mothers themselves to avoid pollution.

Netizen CICI Mom: before production, the nurse asked me to prepare skin for blood. I went to the examination room of the nurse station. The nurse asked me to lie down on the bed and climb to bed with a big belly. I saw the nurse with a razor for shaving and a pile of cotton pads stained with iodine put on the side table. First, she took the cotton wool and wiped it on my belly. Then she shaved the hair on the whole plane below the navel with a razor. I was not worried because I heard from other pregnant mothers of caesarean section when I was pregnant. But at this time, the nurse picked up the cotton wool and wiped it on my lower body. Before I could react, the nurse had finished. I felt depressed, because I felt like a plucked hen, and a strange feeling.

1. What is leather preparation?

Skin preparation refers to the surgical preparation of shaving the hair and cleaning the body surface at the corresponding part of the operation. It is the work of cleaning the operation area for the patients to be operated on before the operation. It is not only simple to clean the body hair, but also includes the cleaning of the skin. Sometimes it is necessary to do the skin iodophor scrubbing before the operation.

In fact, skin preparation is "shaving", but it is different from the concept of hair removal and shaving in our women's daily life. The purpose of skin preparation is to clean and disinfect the skin without interfering with the operation. Therefore, mothers to be, in order to carry out the operation smoothly, must cooperate with doctors and nurses to prepare the skin before the operation.

2. Why to prepare leather?

The purpose of skin preparation is to remove the hair and dirt in the operation area, clean the skin, prepare for the skin disinfection during the operation, and prevent post incision infection.

Many expectant mothers have to ask why they still need to prepare skin for cleaning such parts every day. It's embarrassing to shave off the hair. After consulting experts and collecting relevant information, Dora found that each person has at least 10 billion bacteria, and countless fungi, yeasts and tiny insects. They only need a few to occupy the newborn's mouth and skin An hour!

Seeing this terrible number, mothers to be are better off preparing skin for their baby's health. Some mothers to be have doubts. Many of our hair is to resist bacteria. Isn't shaving without the ability to fight? Let's see where these bacteria are hiding: eyelashes, mouth, armpit, nose, navel, etc., and of course, the groin closely related to mothers to be.

Because the groin is close to the urethra, it is normal for some fungi and bacteria to 'live in harmony' here. Adult female vagina, there are always some acid resistant bacteria and yeast, they help to maintain the pH value of about 4.5 conducive to health, which is enough to kill many pathogens. The occasional occurrence of pubic lice and scabies on the pubic hair is not good for health. These parasites can be spread through bed sheets, towels and clothes without direct contact with the skin and "immigrate" to others.

These "dangerous elements" that make expectant mothers imperceptible can't affect fetal treasure. In addition, the mother to be will still feel strange: why do we have to shave when we choose caesarean section? The baby doesn't come out from below, so we can directly cut her belly. But the doctor's reply is: it's convenient for postpartum disinfection, and then it's necessary to insert a catheter. In addition, postnatal children have lochia, no hair is more sanitary, and it's convenient to clean up & hellip; & hellip;

Therefore, skin preparation is not only for avoiding infection during operation, but also for postpartum care!

What is the method of preparing skin for caesarean section?

1. Shaving. This method needs to prepare the skin once a day before the operation, and change the sterile towel package every time for 3 consecutive days. This method is easy to cause skin damage and bacterial migration, especially shaving one day before operation can increase the phenomenon of bacterial migration and cause discomfort such as pain to patients, and greatly increase the workload of nurses. This method is the most traditional method of skin preparation.

2. Chemical depilation. In this method, wet shaving before operation is no longer used, but depilation emulsion is used for depilation. Chemical depilation is only one day before operation.

3. Skin preparation method. The skin preparation device is a kind of instrument with two rows of cutting heads. In the process of shaving, the row close to the skin does not move, while the upper row moves rapidly to achieve the function of cutting hair.

The above three methods of skin preparation have different degrees of skin damage. At present, the most widely used method is skin preparation. Under the microscope, it can be observed that, after using the razor, the hair root is oblique section, the skin may have small damage, but after using the chemical depilatory agent, the hair is completely removed; when using the skin preparation device, the relatively complete hair root will remain, the skin can also maintain integrity, which can effectively reduce the damage to the epidermis, so as to reduce the infection of the surgical incision.

1. The scope of skin preparation is not as wide as possible. Do not prepare skin unless the hair hinders the operation.

2. When choosing a skin preparation or depilating agent, be sure to choose a professional one.

3. Be careful when preparing skin, and try to keep skin integrity.

4. Skin preparation should not be carried out too much in advance, and should be as close as possible to the start time of the operation.

5. The skin preparation process should not be carried out in the operating room, but outside the operating room.
