title: Study of problems arising during perioperative care of postoperative endophthalmitis.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To discuss the problems in perioperative nursing care for patients with postoperative infectious endophthalmitis.
  
  
  METHODS
  The medical records of 34 patients (35 eyes) presenting with infectious endophthalmitis at Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center, Sun Yat-sen University between April 2002 and December 2013 were collected to analyze preoperative and postoperative nursing care for endophthalmitis after ocular surgery.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Thirty-four patients (35 eyes) developed complications of infectious endophthalmitis after surgery. Thirty-three cases were successfully cured and only one patient (1 eye) was untreated due to Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Perioperative nursing care plays a pivotal role in preventing and controlling the incidence and development of postoperative infectious endophthalmitis.
