Abstract: Objective To explore the factors related with the infection after cerebrospinal fluid shunt (CFS) and nursing interventions.Methods 115 patients receiving CFS were reviewed. Results From November, 2009 to December, 2011, infection was found in 11 of 60 patients receiving CFS (18.3%). After intensive intervention, no infected case was found from January, 2012 to August, 2013 in 55 cases receiving CFS. Factors related with the infection included non-antibiotic-soaked shunt, non-laminar flow operating room, one-glove surgical procedure, and too many persons in the operating room. Conclusion Intensive nursing interventions can prevent the infection after CFS.
