Clinical study on neglected perforation of glove during spinal surgery
To specify the occurrence status, distribution characteristics and risk factors of neglected perforations in surgical gloves used during spinal surgery.
Methods
2
A total of 932 surgical gloves used during spinal surgery in our hospital from October 2022 to September 2024 were selected. The occurrence and distribution location of neglected perforations were counted. Univariate and binary
Logistic
regression analyses were respectively conducted on the factors that might lead to neglected perforations of gloves.
Results
2
Among the 932 surgical gloves used in spinal surgery selected in this study, a total of 122 gloves (13.09%) with neglected perforations were detected,of which the proportions of neglected perforations at the index finger of the left and right hands in the gloves were the highest, accounting for 37.50% and 37.93% respectively. The results of univariate and binary
Logistic
regression analyses showed that grade Ⅲ or Ⅳ surgery, open surgery, combined bone grafting operation, operation time≥120 minutes, use of rotating equipment, and gloves worn by instrument nurses were risk factors for neglected perforations (
P
<
0.05,
OR
>
1.0), while wearing double-layer gloves was a protective factor to avoid the occurrence of neglected perforations (
P
<
0.05,
OR
<
1.0).
Conclusion
2
The incidence of neglected perforations in surgical gloves used during spinal surgery is relatively high,especially in the area of the glove index finger. For high-risk spinal surgeries (grade Ⅲ or Ⅳ surgery, open surgeries, combined bone grafting procedures) and requiring rotating equipment, health care workers, especially instrumental nurses, are advised to wear double-layer gloves; furthermore, a 120-minute glove change regime is recommended, in order to reduce the incidence of neglected perforation.
