Area of Science:

  • Medical Devices
  • Surgical Nursing
  • Patient Safety

Background:

  • Accidental dislodgment of surgical drains can cause risks, discomfort, and expense.
  • A previously unrecognized post-operative pain syndrome was reported by nursing staff.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the use of securement devices to prevent risks associated with surgical drain dislodgment.
  • To identify and eliminate the cause of a recurring post-operative pain syndrome.

Main Methods:

  • Securing urinary catheters with Statlock securement devices.
  • Hanging catheter bags to the OR stable to eliminate catheter traction.
  • Modifying chest tube securement protocols to include Statlock devices.

Main Results:

  • The implemented practice changes eliminated traction on catheters, preventing migration into the bladder neck.
  • Symptoms of bladder pain and spasm upon waking were resolved.
  • Chest tube securement modifications improved patient skin integrity and increased nursing application efficiencies by 100%.

Conclusions:

  • Statlock securement devices and adjusted catheter management effectively prevent post-operative pain syndromes.
  • These interventions enhance patient safety, improve outcomes, and increase nursing efficiency.
