ObjectiveTo analyze the increased risks of nursing due to expansion of ophthalmic day surgery indications, and the countermeasures. MethodsWe collected the information in the last three years from January 2012 to December 2014 in the Department of Ophthalmology, including the number of operations, the proportion of cataract patients, patients aged over 70 and under 12 years old, patients with high-risk fall, the number of general anesthesia operations, adverse events, and the data from the satisfaction survey of the patients. All the data were analyzed by statistical method. ResultsDuring the last three years, the relaxation of ophthalmic day surgery indications led to an increased admission rate of high-risk patients, and caused more nursing risk factors. Through the efforts of prevention and care, during the last three years, there were no adverse events, and patients had a satisfaction rate over 90%. ConclusionAlthough the ophthalmic day surgery indication has been relaxed, through the establishment of nursing risk response system by pre-hospital guidance, admission assessment, peri-operative education and follow-up visit, with the continuous improvement of nursing management system and convenient workflow, we can not only improve the work efficiency, but also ensure nursing safety.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of ophthalmic viscosurgical device (OVD)-assisted non-gas dependent pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) combined with an inverted internal limiting membrane (ILM) flap for the treatment of idiopathic macular hole (IMH). MethodsA retrospective cohort study. From June 2023 to February 2024, 33 patients (33 eyes) diagnosed with IMH in Department of Ophthalmology of Changshu Second People’s Hospital were included in the study. Best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) examinations were performed on all affected eyes before surgery. BCVA examination was conducted using the international standard visual acuity chart, and the results were converted into the logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR) visual acuity. The minimum diameter of the hole was measured using OCT. All affected eyes received standard 25G PPV treatment through the three channels of the flat part of the ciliary body. According to the surgical methods, they were divided into two groups: the OVD-assisted non-gas-dependent PPV combined with internal limiting membrane inversion and coverage treatment group (OVD group, 17 cases and 17 eyes) and the heavy water-assisted gas-dependent PPV combined with internal limiting membrane inversion and coverage treatment group (heavy water group, 16 cases and 16 eyes). Postoperatively, patients in the OVD group were not required to maintain a strict specific position, whereas those in the heavy water group needed to remain in a prone position for one week. The follow-up time points after the operation were 1 week, 1 month and 3 months. The main observation indicators included BCVA, intraocular pressure, hole closure rate and closure morphology of the two groups, as well as the occurrence of complications. The independent sample t test was used for comparison between groups. Pearson correlation analysis was used for the correlation between BCVA at 3 months after surgery and the minimum diameter of the surgical hole and BCVA before surgery. ResultsThree months after the operation, the rate of hole closure in the OVD group and the heavy water group was 17 (100.0%, 17/17) and 15 (93.8%, 15/16) eyes, respectively. There was no statistically significant difference in the hole closure rate (χ2=1.090) and closure type (Z=?0.780) between the two groups (P＞0.05). Compared with before the operation, the logMAR BCVA at each time point after the operation in the OVD group and the heavy water group was significantly improved (F=2.353, 1.375; P＜0.05). One week after the operation, the BCVA in the OVD group was significantly better than that in the heavy water group (t=-3.760, P＜0.01). In terms of intraocular pressure, compared with the baseline value before the surgery, there was a statistically significant difference in the OVD group one week after the surgery (Z=?3.454, P＜0.05). There were statistically significant differences in the heavy water group at 1 week, 1 month and 3 months after the operation (Z=?5.066, ?3.423, ?2.739; P＜0.05). After the operation, one eye in the heavy water group had high intraocular pressure, which returned to normal after combined treatment with intraocular pressure-lowering drugs. No ocular or systemic complications occurred in the OVD group. The results of the correlation analysis showed that postoperative BCVA was correlated with the minimum diameter of the surgical hole and BCVA before the surgery (r=0.543, 0.658; P＜0.05). ConclusionsThe treatment of IMH with OVD-assisted non-gas-dependent PPV combined with internal limiting membrane flip coverage has a good effect. It helps promote the early recovery of macular morphology and visual function after surgery, and at the same time can avoid the maintenance of forced position and reduce perioperative risks.
Objective To summarize the role and implementation effect of risk management in Ophthalmic Day Surgery Center. Methods Since the establishment of Ophthalmic Day Surgery Center on October 8th, 2012, risk management was implemented in the aspects of hardware management, post setting, file management, operating process, service, etc., and the adverse events occurred in the period were analyzed to find out the defectiveness and hidden dangers in the working process, and then refined intervention measures were put forward and carried out. The surgical amount, occurrence of nosocomial infections and nursing adverse events, and patients satisfaction from October 8th, 2012 to June 30th, 2015 were analyzed.

Objective To classify the nursing needs of patients undergoing ophthalmic day surgery, to understand the characteristics and needs of different patient groups, and propose specific nursing strategies to further improve the nursing quality of the ophthalmic day wards. Methods A retrospective review was conducted on all archived electronic medical records of patients in the Ophthalmology Day Ward of Beijing Tongren Hospital affiliated to the Capital Medical University from January to September 2023. Statistical description and cluster analysis were used to analyze and cluster all data. Results A total of 52049 patients were included, with an average age of (57.11±19.61) years. The number of nursing items required was 0 for 3104 patients (5.96%), 1 for 9158 patients (17.59%), 2 for 25428 patients (48.85%), 3 for 8812 patients (16.93%), 4 for 5442 patients (10.46%), and 5-11 for 105 patients (0.20%). The number of patients’ comorbidities was 0 for 38653 patients (74.26%), 1 for 10896 patients (20.93%), 2 for 2449 patients (4.71%), and 3-11 for 51 patients (0.10%). Using the number of comorbidities, total required nursing care items, and age as clustering variables, the 52049 patients were divided into 3 groups: low nursing demand group with 11817 patients (22.70%), medium nursing demand group with 24466 patients (47.01%), and high nursing demand group with 15766 patients (30.29%). The results showed that both patient age and the number of comorbidities were closely related to the number of nursing care items needed. Conclusion Classifying and analyzing the nursing needs of patients undergoing ophthalmic day surgery can help understand the needs of different categories of patients, improve nursing strategies specifically, provide support for further improving the accuracy and quality of ophthalmic day care services, and provide reference for clinical nursing work.
