Purpose:
To investigate the risk factors and infection control after vitrectomy.
Methods:
By analyzing the risk factors of surgical infection following vitrectomy, a sound surgical cooperation workflow was established. A system of equipment cleaning, disinfection, and quarantine was set up. The use of sterile implants and disposable consumables was subject to strict management and the system of operation room environment and sterile technique were strengthened.
Results:
Infection control during perioperative period was improved and the nursing staffs perceptions of preventing surgical infection were enhanced, which guaranteed the safety of vitrectomy and controlled the infection rate to levels as low as 0.035%.
Conclusion:
Proper management of vitrectomy plays a pivotal role in the prevention of post-vitrectomy surgical infection.
