Abstract

AIM: To early massage lacrimal sac to prevent and reduce the neonatal dacryocystitis. <p>METHODS: We collected 4 048 cases of neonatal, there were 2 650 cases of natural birth including 5 300 eyes and 1 398 cases of Cesarean section including 2 796 eyes. There were 2 131 cases with preventive massage on lacrimal sac including 1 396 cases in natural labor, 2 792 eyes, and 735 cases in cesarean delivery, 1 470 eyes. Then, we determined whether neonatal dacryocystitis occurrence in the observation period. <p>RESULTS: After preventive massage on lacrimal sac, there were 104 cases of neonatal dacryocystitis that included 68 cases of natural labor, 75 eyes and 36 cases of cesarean delivery, 47 eyes; 140 cases of neonatal dacryocystitis that included 49 cases of natural labor, 57 eyes and 91 cases of cesarean delivery, 148 eyes, in the neonatal without massage.
