I agree with the delivery room.  Perhaps also before urine tests that need to be extremely clear.  Maybe even for keeping clean after baby is born.

The only thing that might be of concern from what I have read, if true, is that the folds of skin have a higher degree of holding bacteria which increases the chance of infections and transmitting STD's.\n\nUsing a condem might help reduce spreading of STD's, but every 1 out 5 have defects and if not properly worn tend to roll off \nand therefore the spred of disease is still present.

it's a bag attached to a nozzle that a woman inserts into her vagina.  She squeezes the bag and in doing so releases the contents of the bag into her vagina.  The woman is lying down in the bath tub when she does this.  They say it is too "clean" the vagina when in acutallity it just pushes any bacteria further up into her reproductive tract which may cause an infection.  It's disgusting and so not necessary..the body cleanses itself!! Did this help??\n\nI can't believe the asnwers you got on this --people are so rude

i agree with nitehawk on this, in addition they should be using some higher antibiotics ...maybe tazobactam with piperacillin should help..\nand local antisepsis can be maintained with plain betadine bandages or powder in case of open wounds\nthe patient also should be monitored for septicemia...cuz that can be really dangerous in this patient.

Cotton plugs are used to stop air movement that might carry microbes. They are sometimes used in equipment when sterilized in an autoclave, also in the tops of agar flasks in the autoclave. They are used in test tubes, again to prevent contamination through the air.

air dry the area.  Try to let them go without a diaper for 10 min. or so.  Lay the baby on towel.  You may need to stop using baby wipes if you are, as that will irriate the rash further.  Just use wet paper towels or warm wash cloth to clean the area, then let air dry.  Your baby may also have a yeast infection, which wont clear up by itself usually, you will see little red dots in areas, this is yeast and you need to use nystatin from your baby's dr.  Stop using baby wipes for 2 days, you'll be surprised of the results u get.

You should always use thin plastic gloves when bathing patients. It's part of the health and safety rules.

Yes, they are harmful.  Can cause many problems.  Plain soap and water is sufficient for cleansing externally.  Do not put any kind of soap or feminine washes inside the vagina, except on the advice of a Dr.   It will destroy the normal bacterial flora that maintains a healthy gyn. system.

Kerlex - is a type of gauze that you can wrap around an arm/leg.  There is a product that has iodine infused through it that can be used to pack wounds that are being allowed to heal without stitches.  I'm sorry, I can't think of the name of it - what we use has gauze about one inch wide, comes wrapped into a roll in a brown bottle.\nThere is also a product called Gelfoam that can be used to absorb blood to facilitate clotting.  When I worked in the nursery, we used it to help stop a circ  from bleeding.\nI would think any of them could be found in a comprehensive pharmacy.\nHope some of that helps!

depending on the antiseptic you use (if its prescription or over the counter) antiseptic will kill common bacteria and help prevent infections...antibiotic creams depending on what kind you get kill a variety of bacteria but if overused, bacteria can build up resistance and become immune against antibiotics...short term use is safe though...be well!

lol douche is a substance used to wash out the vaginal area. but you shouldn't ever use it, its not good for you. it puts your bacteria levels out of balance, and you will get a yeast infection. so don't worry about it.
