SUMMARY:

State of the art: Endophthalmitis is an intraocular infection with a poor prognosis in most cases, as patient's final visual acuity may remain equal or worse than before surgical treatment. In some situations, there is a need for more radical treatments, such as enucleation or evisceration, which consist, respectively, of the removal of the eyeball or its internal content. According to the Ministry of Health (2017), despite the low incidence of this type of infection, the outlook in case of outbreaks is devastating, as the number of patients undergoing surgical procedure on the same day is high, under similar risk conditions. In this context, Epidemiological Surveillance (VE) emerges as an important tool for elaboration of prevention procedures, monitoring and control of infections. As determined by the MS (BRASIL, 2017), health services that perform ophthalmological procedures must establish an Epidemiological Surveillance System for endophthalmitis, defining surveillance actions to be applied. Objective: To develop an Epidemiological Surveillance System through elaboration of a program / application to monitor, investigate, control and prevent endophthalmitis in ophthalmology services of EBSERH’s hospital network. Materials and methods: This is a methodological study with technological, descriptive divided into three stages: Stage I: review of literature Stage II: Application of semi-structured questionnaire with members of care teams of responsible sector for carrying out ophthalmologic surgeries   for raising the diagnosis of the system used in the prevention of endophthalmitis Stage III: Development of specific Epidemiological Surveillance System for endophthalmitis. Results and discussion: Development of software for endophtalmitis. The system should carry out in a practical way analysis of: endophtalmitis distribution and frequency; profile of hospital’s involved microorganisms, including community germs infections considered as contaminants. It should also identify hospital’s endophtalmitis index (hospital infection) by procedure and for a specific period. For this notification system elaboration, a specific protocol was also added for prevention and intervention at endophtalmitis cases in the Institution. A good practice for ophtalmic surgical procedures handbook was also written.
