Patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction who remain symptomatic despite optimal medical therapy may undergo a septal myectomy (Morrow procedure). This procedure involves excising a portion of the hypertrophied septum below the aortic valve using a heart-lung machine to improve blood flow through the LVOT. Effective preoperative and postoperative nursing management ensures successful patient outcomes, minimizes complications, and...

Burn Injuries01:22

Burn Injuries

2.5K
Burn injuries occur when the skin and underlying tissues are damaged due to exposure to heat, electricity, chemicals, radiation, or friction. They can vary in severity, from minor superficial burns to severe deep burns that can be life-threatening.
The damage results in the death of skin cells, which can lead to a massive loss of fluid. Dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, and renal and circulatory failure follow, which can be fatal. Burn patients are treated with intravenous fluids to offset...

    Area of Science:

    • Healthcare quality improvement
    • Patient safety research
    • Surgical patient care

    Background:

    • Hospital-acquired pressure injuries (HAPIs) are a major concern, increasing healthcare costs and impacting patient safety.
    • Surgical patients face heightened risks of skin injury, including pressure injuries, due to immobility and sensory deficits during procedures.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To identify specific risk factors for skin injury in surgical patients.
    • To develop and implement a risk assessment protocol to mitigate postoperative skin injury.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized the Six Sigma DMAIC (define, measure, analyze, improve, control) methodology for protocol development.
    • Conducted data review and analysis to identify significant predictors of postoperative skin injury.

    Main Results:

    • Age of 65 years or older was identified as a significant predictor.
    • Presence of a pre-existing skin condition emerged as a key risk factor.
    • Surgical procedures exceeding four hours were strongly associated with increased risk of skin injury.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed risk assessment protocol effectively identifies surgical patients at high risk for skin injury.
    • Implementing targeted interventions based on identified risk factors can improve patient outcomes and safety.
    • This study underscores the value of interprofessional collaboration and data-driven methods in preventing HAPIs.
