Abstract:

Objective

To analyze the related factors of postoperative infection after ventriculoperitoneal shunt (VPS) and to provide the basis for the effective prevention and control of postoperative infection; and to explore the methods to improve the operation for reducing the rate of postoperative infection.

Methods

Total of 290 cases were selected as the improved group who were given improvement of conventional VPS in the treatment of hydrocephalus, while 188 cases with the conventional treatment of hydrocephalus were selected as the control group, the rate of postoperative infection were compared between the two groups. The age distribution, hydrocephalus type, preoperative status of different factors between the incidence of postoperative infection, and the infection factors of patients in the improved group were analyzed by SPSS 20.0 statistical analysis software, while the related factors of postoperative infection were analyzed.

Results

Among the modified group, 202 patients were treated with modified VPS for 290 times, and the infection rate was 6.55% (19/290). The control group of 138 patients, the use of conventional VPS 188 case-times, the infection rate was 13.83% (26/188), the postoperative infection rate of the modified group was significantly lower than that of the control group (χ2 = 5.022, P = 0.021). The early infection in the modified and control groups were 13 (68.42%) and 20 (76.92%), respectively, but with no significant differences (χ2 = 0.724, P = 0.415). The early infection in the modified and control groups were 13 (68.42%) and 20 (76.92%), respectively, with significant differences (χ2 = 10.131, P = 0.001). Prophylactic use of antimicrobial agents (χ2 = 4.297, P = 0.039), complete preservation of periosteum and suture, embedding of puncture holes (χ2 = 8.924, P = 0.005) and small arc head skin incision (χ2 = 7.209, P = 0.015) were associated with postoperative infection.

Conclusions

Prophylactic use of antibiotics, complete preservation of periosteum and suture embedding puncture holes, small arc head skin incision were all the protective factors of postoperative infection, which were helpful to reduce the rate of postoperative infection.
