ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the scientific and objective quality management methods of ophthalmic nursing to improve the quality of ophthalmic clinical nursing. Methods According to the implemention details of review standards of tertiary special eye hospital (2011) and the management specification of clinical nursing of Guangdong province, combining with the characteristics of ophthalmic nursing to formulate the 21 indicators. The indicators had been applied in 12 wards to evaluate the nursing quality since 2013 each quarter. Using the Plato analysis method to analyze the data dynamically since 2013, then controlling and improving the nursing quality in view of the analysis result. The clinical nursing quality in the first half of 2013 was compared with the second half of 2013. Results The ophthalmic nursing indicators of 12 wards in the second half of 2013 were higher than the first half of 2013. Significant statistical difference was found in the implementation rate of periocular clean, cut fingernails preoperative, infusion system, identification, send medicine to the mouth, patients at high risk of falling drop of bed evaluation, wrist band awareness, patients′ satisfaction between two groups (χ2=4.115-12.308, P < 0.05 or 0.01). Conclusions Establishing and implementing the nursing quality evaluation indicators system of ophthalmology can evaluate the clinical nursing quality objectively and promote the continuous improvement of clinical nursing quality.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the key nursing points during and after phacoemulsification and intraocular implantation of multiple focus lens.Method Pre-and post-operative nursing was done to the patients undergoing cataract surgery for 42 eyes of 42 patients.Result All surgeries were well done without complication.The patients’visual acuity had significant improvement after operation as compared to the pre-operation(P<0.05).Conclusions Intraocular implantation with a multiple focus lens can markedly improve the patients’vision and enhance their life quality.It is important for a nurse to conduct mental care,health education and complete preoperative examination. After surgery,the disease conditions should be carefully monitored and instructs on eye protection should be done to the patients for the purpose of promoting their recovery.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the key points in the care of patients with open angle glaucoma undergoing EX-PRESS drainage device implantation during perioperative period.Method Eighteen patients with open angle glaucoma underwent EX-PRESS glaucoma drainage device implantation and received individualized nursing care during perioperative period.Results Drainage device implantation was successfully performed in 18 patients.The mean operation time was(30.0±5.0)mins,ranged 25 to 45 mins.The postoperative intraocular pressure was stable.Conclusions EX-PRESS glaucoma drainage device implantation is an innovative and effective strategy in the treatment of open angle glaucoma.Comprehensive nursing during perioperative period is important to ensure the clinical efficacy.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE To investigate factors associated with postvitrectomy endophthalmitis. METHODS Cases with postvitrectomy endophthalmitis in our hospital between 2003 and 2007 were collected and retrospectively reviewed. RESULTS All 14011 cases (eyes) underwent pars plana vitrectomy and postoperative endophthalmitis happened to seven cases (eyes). The incidence of infection was 0.047%. Confirmed microbiology was demonstrated in 4 of 7 cases (57.0%),in which Gram-positive cocci were found 75.0%. 71.4% Of cases with postvitrectomy endophthalmitis were older than 60. The infection was controlled in 6 cases after antibiotic treatment. One case with diabetes and culture confirmation of Gram-negative bacilli deteriorated even after the second vitrectomy,and evisceration was finally performed. CONCLUSIONS The predominant organism is Gram-positive cocci in postvitrectomy endophthalmitis. The risk factors include increasing age,presence of systemic diseases and immunodeficiency. Timely and effective antibiotic therapy is important to restore visual acuity for postvitrectomy endophthalmitis.
