Skin avulsion during oscillometry.

G S Bause, A C Weintraub, G E Tanner

    Journal of Clinical Monitoring
    |October 1, 1986
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Skin avulsion occurred during blood pressure measurement in a prone, anesthetized patient. Prevent epidermal shearing by padding the cuff area or avoiding arm weight-bearing.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical devices
    • Patient safety
    • Anesthesiology

    Background:

    • Blood pressure monitoring is crucial in anesthesia.
    • The oscillometric method is commonly used for non-invasive blood pressure measurement.
    • Patient positioning can influence device-related complications.

    Observation:

    • A case of skin avulsion was noted.
    • The event occurred during oscillometric blood pressure measurement.
    • The patient was under anesthesia and in the prone position.

    Findings:

    • The skin avulsion was associated with the blood pressure cuff.
    • Epidermal shearing is a potential risk in this scenario.
    • Proper technique can mitigate this adverse event.

    Implications:

    • Awareness of this complication is important for clinicians.
    • Preventive measures can enhance patient safety during prone positioning.
    • Further research may explore optimal cuff placement and padding strategies.
