OBJECTIVE To investigate the risk factors of postoperative nosocomial infection in esophageal cancer patients,and to provide evidences for controlling nosocomial infection. METHODS The data of 466 cases with esophageal cancer,from Jan 2002 to Dec 2005, were studied retrospectively. RESULTS The nosocomial infection rate of patients with esophageal cancer was 21.03 %. The main locations of infection were operation incision,lower respiratory tract and thorax. The nosocomial infection rate had increasing trend as lengthening the hospitalization duration. CONCLUSIONS The nosocomial infection with esophageal cancer is related to age, hospitalization duration and postoperative time. To take measures for infective factors, for example, intraoperative aseptic operation, postoperative drainage tube unblocked and rational use of antibiotics, is important to control and decrease the nosocomial infection. |
