Comparison of Conventional and Modern Wound Care in Post-Section Wounds at Cut Mutia Hospital, North Aceh Regency in 2023

“…Odada et al (2024) research on incision wound infections of cesarean section distinguishes infections based on the time of infection; the first infection is an infection that occurs when the patient is in the hospital with a total of 27%, the second infection that occurs during re-admission is 1%, and the largest infection case is after the patient is discharged from the hospital with an incidence rate of 71% (Zhang et al, 2023). Surgical wound infection (ILO) is one of the post-surgical complications that is a serious problem because it can increase morbidity and length of treatment, which will certainly increase costs, possibly resulting in disability to death (De La Tejera et al, 2023;Galosi et al, 2024;Peter & Ali Seif, 2022). Directly related death rates from the ILO range from 3% to 75% in hospitals worldwide (Li et al, 2020).…”

“…The rapid development of wound care today is the use of dressings or dressings based on measuring the level of existing cost capabilities, of course, adjusted to the principle of wound care, which is to maintain the physiology of moisture in the wound environment so that it can trigger the tissue repair process (Galosi et al, 2024;Xu et al, 2024). The application of wound care is more based on the findings with a multidisciplinary approach, with the principles of "moist wound healing," "advance wound healing," a moist wound environment that can send epithelial cell migration, reepithelialization, wound contraction, tissue growth, adequate debridement, clean and sterile techniques that adjust the condition of the wound (Kaminsky et al, 2022;Ou et al, 2024).…”
