Healthcare technology use leads to iatrogenic injuries, but research is limited, especially for adult ventilator dependency. Future nursing research should address injury incidence and prevention strategies for common medical technologies.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Technology
  • Patient Safety
  • Nursing Research

Background:

  • Iatrogenic injuries from healthcare technology are understudied.
  • Existing research often consists of single case reports, lacking collective analysis.
  • Nursing research in this area is particularly limited, with most studies in medical literature.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the scarcity of research on iatrogenic injuries related to medical technology.
  • To identify gaps in research, particularly concerning adult ventilator-dependent patients.
  • To propose future directions for nursing research focused on technology-related harm.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of existing studies on iatrogenic injuries and medical technology.
  • Analysis of research trends, focusing on populations and types of technology studied.

  • Identification of research gaps and limitations in current knowledge.

    • Main Results:

    • Most research focuses on pediatric populations and respiratory/nutritional technology.
    • Adult ventilator-dependent patients are underrepresented in the literature.
    • A lack of collective analysis hinders understanding of technology-related iatrogenic injuries.

    Conclusions:

    • There is a critical need for comprehensive nursing research on iatrogenic injuries from medical devices.
    • Future research should investigate the incidence and nature of injuries from high-volume technologies.
    • Developing prevention strategies for technology-associated harm is essential for patient safety.
