Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the present condition of bacteriological infection caused by drainage tube after modified radical mastectomy(MRM) and the prevention measure.METHODS Atotal of152 patients with drainage tube after MRM during 2005-2007 were analyzed,bacteria culture of drainage fluid from breast wound or axillary wound were taken in 24 hours after operation.The bacteria or fungi were identified with ATB bacterial analysis apparatus.RESULTS Seventy specimens from 52 patients were positive(positive rate 34.2%).Of 70 strains,40 were Gram-positive cocci,24 were Gram-negative bacilli and the other 6 were fungi.The reasons of infection included subsided immunity defense system,drainage tube application,incorrect aseptic processing or disinfection procedure,and obstruction of drainage tube.CONCLUSIONS The important prevention measures of bacteria infection through drainage tube after MRM include maintenance of aseptic environment in operating room,strict aseptic processing,fluent drainage,and proper indwelling time of drainage tube.
