Objective To study the effects of PDCA cycle in the control of surgical site infection (SSI). Methods A total of 1 761 surgeries between January 2012 and December 2013 were chosen to be monitored. PDCA cycle was used as a tool of total quality management evaluation to enhance the control of SSI. Results After 2 to 4 cycles of PDCA, the preventive medication rate of ClassⅠ operation incision was decreased significantly (χ2=309.513,P<0.001) and the postoperative incision infection rate did not change significantly (χ2=1.474,P=0.669). Conclusion Using PDCA cycle can increase SSI management level and quality significantly and total quality management can be operated effectively.
