Perioperative nursing outcomes and management strategies in cold plasma ablation for superficial corneal disorders

1

The study evaluated 38 patients undergoing low-temperature plasma ablation (LTPA) for superficial corneal disorders from June 2022 to January 2024.
2

Infectious patients had longer epithelial healing times and higher recurrence rates compared to noninfectious patients, impacting nursing satisfaction.
3

Visual analog scale pain scores were consistently higher in the infectious group, although both groups showed a significant decrease over time.
4

Digital slit-lamp imaging identified delayed epithelial healing in 13.2% of patients, enabling timely clinical interventions.
5

LTPA is a promising and well-tolerated treatment for superficial corneal disorders, warranting further prospective validation of outcomes.
