Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To investigate risk factors and nursing protective measures controlling hospital infection in patients after neck dissection. METHODS The data of 116 patients after neck dissection from Aug 2000 to Aug 2005 were collected, and the hospital infection condition was analyzed in comparison with non-infection group. RESULTS Hospital infection rate was 18.97% (22/116) and case-time rate was 21.55%(25/116). Of 25 occasions in hospital infections, 48% were infection of operative incision and 24% were infection of respiratory tract. The risk factors for hospital infection in patients with neck dissection might be associated with patient's duration of hospitalization, history of chronic disease , age and invasive operation. CONCLUSIONS There is a high hospital infection incidence rate in patients after neck dissection , it is necessary to monitor high risk patients.
