How to keep patients un-HAPI: Cardiac surgery and sacral pressure . . . Patients undergoing cardiac surgery are at particularly increased risk for HAPI Preoperative prophylactic placement of a silicone foam dressing on the sacrum is a fiscally prudent and transformative method of preventing a profoundly debilitating condition
We’re Not Happy Until You’re Not HAPI - AACN At a kickoff event, we began educating CVICU and PCU staff about placing a sacral foam dressing on all patients prior to cardiac surgery to help prevent HAPIs We also provided education about the dressings to operating room (OR) nurses and technicians and them place dressings on patients, too
Preventing hospital-acquired pressure injuries The cost of preventing hospital-acquired pressure injury (HAPI) is significantly lower than the cost of treatment Nurses’ knowledge of pressure injury risk and preventive strategies varies and HAPI incidence worldwide remains stagnant
Effectively Addressing Hospital-Acquired Pressure Injuries With a . . . Hospitals have programs aimed at reducing HAPIs as well as ongoing surveillance to identify new trends early on This ongoing monitoring revealed a trend early at our institution that HAPIs were 66% higher than the national HAPI rate of 3 5% of observed patients
Hospital-Acquired Pressure Injury Reduction: A Nurse-Led Quality . . . Hospital-acquired pressure injuries (HAPIs) are localized damage to the skin and underlying tissue that occurs during a hospital stay These preventable injuries are caused by the prolonged compression over patients’ bony structures and are classified into six stages according to severity [1, 2]
Pressure Injury Prevention in Cardiac Surgery Using Risk Factor . . . Cardiac surgical patients are more susceptible to pressure injury (PI) than other surgical specialties, and little is known about PI prevention (PIP) in this population How do PIP strategies, compared to standard care, affect the incidence of PI during the post-operative recovery among adult cardiac surgery patients?
Perioperative Pressure Injuries: Protocols and Evidence-Based Programs . . . The body reacts by enlarging the blood vessels, resulting in a loss of fluid and eventually blister formation Including preoperative preparations, waiting time, and the postoperative recovery period, even a relatively short, two-hour surgery can mean six or more hours of immobility for the patient
Prevention of Perioperative Pressure Injury Tool Kit Communication of pressure injury development back to the surgical team is imperative CONTROL: Sustain the Gain! MEASURE: What is our Hospital Acquired Pressure Injury (HAPI) rate in surgical patients
