The goal of the present guideline is to consolidate guidance for effective interventions that are needed to reduce the global burden of maternal infections and its complications around the time of childbirth. This forms part of WHO's efforts towards improving the quality of care for leading causes of maternal death especially those clustered around the time of childbirth in the post-MDG era. Specifically it presents evidence-based recommendations on interventions for preventing and treating genital tract infections during labour childbirth or puerperium with the aim of improving outcomes for both mothers and newborns. The primary audience for this guideline is health professionals who are responsible for developing national and local health protocols and policies as well as managers of maternal and child health programmes and policy-makers in all settings. The guideline will also be useful to those directly providing care to pregnant women including obstetricians midwives nurses and general practitioners. The information in this guideline will be useful for developing job aids and tools for both pre- and inservice training of health workers to enhance their delivery of care to prevent and treat maternal peripartum infections.

“Operative vaginal birth” is the term used to describe delivery of the fetal head assisted by either vacuum extractor or forceps. The Guideline Development Group noted that the available evidence, from highincome countries, strongly supports the use of a single dose of intravenous amoxicillin (1 g) and clavulanic acid (200 mg) administered as soon as possible after birth and no more than 6 hours after birth. The effects of other antibiotics and routes of administration for this indication are unknown. The Guideline Development Group recognized that intravenous amoxicillin and clavulanic acid may not be readily available or feasible to use in resource-limited settings and suggested that where this combination is not available, providers should consider the use of an appropriate class of antibiotics with similar spectrum of activity, based on local antimicrobial resistance patterns, safety profile (including allergies), the clinician’s experience with that class of antibiotics, availability and cost. The risk of postpartum infections and side-effects of antibiotics should be discussed with all women undergoing operative vaginal birth at the earliest time possible before or after birth. This recommendation was based on agreement by the Guideline Development Group that the improved health outcomes for women were clinically significant and outweighed the potential effects on emerging antimicrobial resistance.

Within the continuum of reproductive health care, antenatal care provides a platform for important health-care functions, including health promotion, screening and diagnosis, and disease prevention. It has been established that, by implementing timely and appropriate evidence-based practices, antenatal care can save lives. Endorsed by the United Nations Secretary-General, this is a comprehensive WHO guideline on routine antenatal care for pregnant women and adolescent girls. It aims to complement existing WHO guidelines on the management of specific pregnancy-related complications. The guidance captures the complex nature of the antenatal care issues surrounding healthcare practices and delivery, and prioritizes person-centered health and well-being --- not only the prevention of death and morbidity --- in accordance with a human rights-based approach.

While the evidence on vaginal preparation before caesarean section was largely derived from trials using povidone-iodine, benefit was demonstrated overall for any antiseptic (either povidone-iodine or chlorhexidine gluconate) versus no antiseptic. Included trials used varying concentrations of chlorhexidine gluconate (0.05% to 0.25%) or povidone-iodine (1% to 10%), and the base (aqueous or alcohol) was not described. However, the Guideline Development Group agreed that alcohol-based antiseptic solutions should not be used for vaginal preparation because of concerns around irritation of mucosa. This recommendation pertains to all women undergoing caesarean section regardless of their baseline risk of infectious morbidity following surgery (i.e. for caesarean section in women before or during labour, and women with intact or ruptured membranes). Whilst available trials were not clear on the timing of vaginal preparation relative to the caesarean section, the Guideline Development Group suggested that vaginal preparation should be performed as close to the start of caesarean section as possible (e.g. directly following preoperative urinary bladder catheterization) to minimize the woman’s discomfort.
