Abstract：ABSTRACT: Objective To analyze the occupational exposure of nurses in operating room and early warning response strategy. Methods Occupational exposure of nurses in operating room was analyzed, and the early warning response strategy was explored. Results Of 15 cases with occupational exposure, there were 11 cases with sharps injuries and 4 cases with mucosal exposure. In the occupational exposure mode, surgical suture needle stick injuries were the most, and followed by the injection needle stick injuries and the stab when passed instrument. Occupational exposure occurred mainly in the hands, eyes and feet. In addition, the occurrence of occupational exposure in the operating room nurse was the most in nurses, followed by the practice nurses and nurse practitioners. Awareness rate of related knowledge of occupational exposure in the 32 nurses was from 81.3% to 100.0%. Conclusion The incidence rate of occupational exposure of nurses in operating room is relatively high, and the overall strengthening of knowledge protection and occupational safety education and training of relevant personnel, standard operating procedures, the implementation of standard precautions, establishment and improvement of the reporting process and the establishment of an early warning mechanism to prevent occupational exposure are effective ways to protect the occupational safety of nurses in operating room.
