Peripheral Artery Disease V: Postoperative Nursing Management

During the postoperative period, it is crucial to focus on maintaining circulation, identifying and managing potential complications, and planning for discharge.Nursing AssessmentVital signs monitoring: Regularly monitor vital signs, including blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, and temperature, to detect early signs of complications such as bleeding and infection.Circulation assessment: Monitor pulses, perform Doppler assessments, and check capillary refill, color, temperature, and...

Summary

Multidimensionally flexible silicone foam (MFSF) dressings applied before prone-position surgery reduced intraoperative acquired pressure injuries (IAPIs). Subepidermal moisture (SEM) measures detected more damage than visual assessments, aiding prevention.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Research
  • Surgical Innovation
  • Patient Safety

Background:

  • Intraoperative acquired pressure injuries (IAPIs) are a risk during prone-position surgery.
  • Early detection and prevention strategies are crucial for patient outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of subepidermal moisture (SEM) measures in detecting and preventing IAPIs.
  • To assess the effectiveness of multidimensionally flexible silicone foam (MFSF) dressings in reducing IAPIs during prone-position surgery.

Main Methods:

  • A clinical trial involving historical control, preintervention, and intervention groups.
  • Application of MFSF dressings to the face, chest, and iliac crests preoperatively.
  • Monitoring of visual skin assessments and SEM measures from preoperatively up to 5 days postoperatively.

Main Results:

  • Fewer intervention participants developed postoperative erythema and SEM-defined IAPIs compared to preintervention participants.
  • MFSF dressings mitigated IAPI risk factors including surgery length, skin tone, and BMI.
  • SEM measures identified more instances of damage than visual skin assessments.

Conclusions:

  • Preoperative application of MFSF dressings significantly reduced IAPIs in patients undergoing prone-position surgery.
  • SEM measures are a valuable tool for detecting subclinical pressure injury, surpassing visual assessment accuracy.
  • MFSF dressings, guided by SEM monitoring, represent a promising approach to IAPI prevention.
