Objective: To summarize the establishment and safety management methods of ambulatory strabismus surgery that can provide the basis for carrying out ambulatory surgery nursing under general anesthesia. Methods: We carried out ambulatory surgery management that reformed nursing management model and delivered the integration of medical care in 9 570 patients undergoing strabismus surgery under general anesthesia from October 2015 to October 2018. In implementation process, we carefully managed the patients before and after operation including performing preoperative assessment and health education in advance, strengthening the verification system, strictly monitoring vital signs of the patients, strict shifting state of patients after operation, providing postoperative guidance to patients and their families, and performing follow-up clinic visits after leaving the hospital. Results: No surgical complications occurred in any of our cases. 34 patients had postoperative discomfort, accounting for 0.36%. Among these 34 patients, 2 had dizziness, 2 had urinary retention and 30 had
nausea and vomiting. After treatments, all patients were discharged on schedule. The number of nurses reduced from 16 to 12 that fell by 25%. Wait times for operation reduced by 8 days. Patient satisfaction was improved from 70% to 90%. The mean length of hospital stay was reduced from 3 days to 1 day. Conclusion: The management of ambulatory surgery under general anesthesia is a new medical care service model. Careful planning and strict preoperative and postoperative safety management can ensure the safe implementation of strabismus surgery. Ambulatory surgery under general anesthesia has benefits to save medical resources and improve patient satisfaction.
