Abstract：Objective:To investigate the status quo of corneal injury in patients undergoing non-head/facial general anesthesia surgery and to analyze its influencing factors.Methods:A total of 413 patients undergoing non-head/facial general anesthesia surgery at a tertiary grade A hospital in Chongqing city were selected as the study subjects by stratified sampling method from March to July 2024.Data were collected using a general information questionnaire of patients and a surgical-related factors questionnaire for corneal injury in non-head/facial general anesthesia patients.The corneal injury status of these patients was assessed.Results:Among the 413 patients,90 cases developed corneal injuries,resulting in an incidence rate of 21.8%.The result of multivariate analysis showed that preoperative eye care measures were protective factors for corneal injury in these patients(P<0.05).However,incomplete eyelid closure(visible conjunctiva and cornea)before or after surgery,preoperative or intraoperative use of atropine,and taller body height were risk factors for corneal injury(P<0.05).Conclusions:The incidence of corneal injury in patients undergoing non-head/facial general anesthesia surgery was relatively high.Preoperative eye care measures,degree of eyelid closure before or after surgery,preoperative or intraoperative use of atropine,and body height were influencing factors of corneal injury.Medical staff should closely monitor patients' corneal conditions,implement perioperative eye care measures,prevent corneal injuries,and improve both nursing quality and medical safety.
