Objective: To analyze the status of medical emergencies of patients in ophthalmic hospitals and put forward suggestions on their prevention and control measures. Methods: The medical emergencies of 82 patients in ophthalmic hospitals in 2017 and 2018 was been analyzed retrospectively, and the characteristics and treatment of emergencies as well as the metastasis and progression of the disease in patients were analyzed specifically.Results: Medical emergencies were caused by druginduced adverse reaction (n=38, 46.3%), syncope (28.0%), cardiovascular emergency (8.3%), accidents (6.1%) in sequence. Fluorescein sodium (n=16, 42.1%) and local anesthesia drugs for nerve block (n=7, 18.4%) were the most common drugs related to drug adverse reaction. Most cases happened at 8:00—18:00 (n=74, 91.3%), and drug adverse reaction and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular emergencies were most common at 18:00—8:00. Medical emergencies happened in outpatient department (n=53,64.6%), wards (22.0%) and operation rooms (11.0%). There were mild emergencies (92.7%), moderate emergencies (4.9%) and severe emergencies (2.4%) in patients. Among them, 50% of patients need first aid by doctors from general hospitals or to be transferred to the general hospital for further treatment. Conclusion: Through optimizing process, shortening the hospital stay, identifying potential risks and enhancing medical workers’ awareness of safety, the risk of medical emergencies can be reduced. We should give full play to the professional advantages of anesthesiologists,improve the emergency handling capacity of the hospital, and contract the emergency services of designated general hospitals to provide rapid, accurate and efficient rescue for patients to ensure the life safety of patients.
