Abstract
Background and Purpose: The Munro Pressure Injury Risk Assessment Scale for Perioperative Patients (Munro Scale) is the first three-phase risk instrument designed specifically for perioperative patients. The purpose of this study was to establish validity and reliability evidence for the Munro Scale. This study also had a goal to reduce the data into more manageable constructs with fewer items. Methods: Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were used to test the hypothesized model for risk assessment using the Munro Scale to identify latent variables. A retrospective review of charts from 630 risk assessments was analyzed from two community acute care hospital settings. Results: The model explained 95% of the variance in the cumulative final risk level, R2 = .95, F(20, 588) = 501.88, p < .001. Six latent variables emerged in the model with a cumulative contribution rate of 56% of the variance. Similar results were obtained in studies with Chinese and Turkish translations of the Munro Scale. Conclusions: The validity and reliability evidence obtained in this study supports the implementation of the Munro Scale for clinical practice in the perioperative setting.

Explore the effect of pressure and time of compression on the risk of intraoperatively acquired pressure injury based on theoretical framework: A prospective study. Int Wound J 2024; 21:e14809. [PMID: 38613408 PMCID: PMC11015468 DOI: 10.1111/iwj.14809] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/19/2023] [Revised: 02/07/2024] [Accepted: 02/08/2024] [Indexed: 04/14/2024] Open
Abstract
Surgery is a high risk factor for the occurrence of pressure injury (PI). On the basis of theoretical research, pressure and duration of pressure are key factors affecting PI. Pressure is affected by the individual pressure redistribution capacity. So our study aims to explore how the surgery time and pressure intensity affect the occurrence of PI and what are the risk factors. A prospective study. A total of 250 patients who underwent elective surgery in a grade-A general hospital from November 2021 to February 2023 were selected and divided into a group of 77 patients with IAPI (intraoperatively acquired pressure injury) and a group of 173 patients with no IAPI. Visual pressure inductive feedback system and body composition analysis technology were used to record the local pressure value and change of patients before and after anaesthesia. Relevant data of the patients were collected to explore the influencing factors. The maximum pressure and average pressure at the pressure site of the same patient changed before and after anaesthesia, and the pressure after anaesthesia was significantly higher than that before anaesthesia. There was no statistical difference in the average pressure after anaesthesia (p > 0.05), but the maximum pressure in the IAPI group was higher than that in the non-occurrence group (p < 0.05). The average pressure multiplied by the operation time in IAPI group is significantly higher than that in the non-IAPI group (p < 0.01). Multiple linear regression analysis (stepwise regression) showed that fat-free weight, age, waist circumference, body mass index (BMI) and gender were taken as independent variables into the regression model, affecting the maximum pressure. In addition, operation time ≥4 h may be a high risk factor for IAPI. In future studies, more objective research tools can be applied to improve the accuracy of predicting the risk of IAPI. In addition to gender and BMI, follow-up studies may consider including measures such as waist circumference and fat-free body weight in IAPI risk assessment to guide the clinical nursing work more scientifically.

Abstract
Background and Purpose: Patients undergoing surgery are at risk of pressure injury development and should be assessed to ensure measures are taken for prevention. The study's purpose was to examine the causal relationships and reliability of the Munro Pressure Injury Risk Assessment Scale for Perioperative Patients (Munro Scale). The Munro Scale is the first dynamic risk scale available for this patient population in the acute clinical setting. Methods: This study was a retrospective review to explore the relationships of the variables in the Munro Scale, identify the strongest predictors, and measure the reliability of previously collected data from two northeastern community hospitals. A total of 630 risk assessments were analyzed to obtain regression, correlation, and reliability evidence for the Munro Scale. Results: The correlation analysis among the 15 risk variables and combined comorbidities revealed commonalities among the variables and significant relationships to the final postoperative injury score. The model as a whole is significant to predict the final level of risk. Coefficient alpha revealed a lower than anticipated reliability when compared to the Chinese, Turkish, and Brazilian versions of the Munro Scale. Conclusions: There are significant relationships among the variables, and the scale is acceptable for use in the acute perioperative practice setting. This study has both clinical and statistical significance.

Abstract
Patients experiencing a cerebrovascular event are vulnerable to declining nutritional status, hindering rehabilitation. This study aims to analyze the association between malnutrition risk and hospital rehabilitation indicators in ischemic stroke survivors (ISS). This analytical study examined medical records of 160 adult patients (69.3 ± 13 years). Undernutrition risk (UR; independent variable) and rehabilitation indicators (dependent variables) like hospital stay, clinical outcome, functionality, stroke severity, food intake, mobility (bedridden), mechanical ventilation, and enteral nutrition were assessed. Data were dichotomized, and the chi-square test identified associations (p ≤ 0.05), followed by Poisson regression for prevalence ratios. Patients at UR had 2-fold higher risk of death (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.99-4.79), 1.8-fold higher risk of high stroke severity (95% CI, 1.06-3.11), 76% higher chance of being bedridden (95% CI, 1.28-2.44), and 3-fold higher risk of mechanical ventilation (95% CI, 1.20-9.52). UR in hospitalized ISS is associated with deteriorating rehabilitation indicators, including mobility, decreased food intake, mechanical ventilation use, and neurological deficit, indicating an increased mortality risk post-stroke.

Abstract
Bladder cancer is a highly prevalent malignancy that presents significant difficulties in the management of wounds following surgery. The present study investigated the critical necessity to optimize wound healing techniques in patients undergoing bladder cancer surgery by contrasting conventional approaches with advanced modalities in order to promote recovery and mitigate complications. The study assessed the efficacy of conventional and advanced wound healing methods in these patients, taking into account the complex interaction of patient-specific factors and surgical complexities. A cross-sectional analysis was performed on 120 patients who underwent bladder cancer surgery at the first affiliated hospital of Wenzhou Medical University. In addition to medical record evaluations and direct wound assessments, patient interviews were utilized to gather information regarding demographics, surgical specifics, wound healing methodologies and postoperative results. Survival analysis and logistic regression were utilized in statistical analysis, with potential confounding variables such as age, comorbidities and type of surgery being accounted for. Advanced wound healing techniques, such as negative pressure wound therapy, tissue-engineered products, bioactive dressings and platelet-rich plasma (PRP), exhibited distinct advantage in comparison with conventional suturing. The aforementioned techniques, especially PRP, resulted in expedited wound healing, decreased rates of complications (p < 0.05) and enhanced secondary outcomes, including curtailed hospital stays and decreased rates of readmissions. PRP therapy, in particular, demonstrated significant improvements with the faster mean time to wound healing of 9 ± 2 days and lower complication incidence of 2 (6.7%) (p < 0.05), indicating its superior efficacy. A subgroup analysis revealed that younger patients, males and those undergoing laparoscopic surgery exhibited superior outcomes (p < 0.05). The results were further supported by logistic regression and Cox proportional hazards models, which further indicated that sophisticated techniques, notably PRP therapy with a hazard ratio of 3.00 (2.00-4.50) and adjusted odds ratio of 0.20 (0.09-0.43), were effective in improving postoperative recovery. The research clarified the significant advantages that advanced wound healing techniques offered in postoperative care of patients diagnosed with bladder cancer. By customizing these methods to suit the unique requirements of individual patients and specific circumstances of surgical procedures, they can significantly enhance the recuperation process after surgery and set a new standard for patient care.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hospital acquired pressure injury (HAPI) is associated with poor clinical outcomes and high medical costs. Patients undergoing surgery in the prone position are particularly vulnerable to perioperative HAPI. This prospective observational study investigated the factors associated with HAPI in patients undergoing elective spine surgery in the prone position. METHODS Two hundred eighty-seven patients undergoing elective spine surgery participated in this study. Demographics, perioperative vital signs, laboratory findings, surgical data, and intraoperative data were prospectively recorded. The sites and stages of HAPI were investigated on postoperative day 2. The stages of HAPI were evaluated using the pressure injury staging system of the National Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel. RESULTS Perioperative HAPI was observed in 71 (24.7%) patients (stage 1, 40; stage 2, 31). The most frequent site (number) of HAPI was the upper extremities (33), followed by the chest (32), lower extremities (20), face (18), pelvis (10), and abdomen (9). In multivariate analysis, the duration of prone positioning per hour (odds ratio [95% confidence interval], 1.48 [1.25-1.74]; P <0.001) and intraoperative pH ≤7.35 (1.98 [1.05-3.76]; P =0.036) were associated with perioperative HAPI. CONCLUSIONS The incidence of perioperative HAPI was 24.7% in patients undergoing elective spine surgery in the prone position. Long duration of prone positioning and intraoperative acidosis were associated with increased development of perioperative HAPI.

Abstract
Burn patients are at risk for hospital-acquired pressure injuries (HAPIs). An unexamined factor that may contribute to HAPI development is the effect of pressure from the operating table during surgery. The purpose of this study was to measure pressure on the buttocks and sacral area during burn surgery under general anesthesia (GA). Prospective study of consecutive adult burn patients admitted to an ABA-verified burn center who required surgery under GA between January 06, 2022 and December 08, 2022. We studied only cases that were supine, including those with both legs down (LD), one leg suspended (1LU), or both legs suspended (2LU). Interface pressures on the buttocks and sacral area were measured using a commercial sensor mat. Thousands of individual pressure measurements were integrated to show average and peak pressures over repetitive 10-minute intervals during the entire operation. Recordings were completed in 41 procedures among 28 patients (48.3 ± 16.9 years, % TBSA burn 19.2 ± 17.1, weight 80.2 ± 19.7 kg, BMI 26.7 ± 6.2). Both average pressure (Pave) and peak pressure (Ppeak) increased significantly with greater number of elevated legs (p < .001). During 2LU periods, Ppeak exceeded 100 mmHg for almost half the operative duration. Pave crept steadily upwards over time and had a positive relationship with weight, regardless of leg elevation. Prolonged moderate to high pressures are exerted on the sacral and buttock areas, especially with one or both legs suspended, during burn surgery. These novel observations suggest that pressure from the operating table could contribute to HAPI development.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the key factors influencing intraoperative-acquired pressure injury (IAPI). METHODS Researchers assessed 413 surgical patients in a Shanghai tertiary hospital using an information collection form and an IAPI occurrence record form. Analysis took place using the classification and regression tree algorithm and multiple logistic regression. RESULTS A total of 43 surgical patients (10.4%) had IAPI, including 32 stage 1 cases (74.4%), and 11 stage 2 cases (25.6%). The multiple logistic regression analysis indicated that operation duration, surgical position, preoperative hypertension, and preoperative Braden Scale risk score were independently associated with IAPI development. The decision tree showed that preoperative Braden Scale score, surgical position, operation grade, operation duration, age, prealbumin level, and body mass index were important factors and that preoperative Braden Scale score was the most critical decision variable. The cross-validation method was used to indicate a model accuracy of 91.8%. CONCLUSIONS The decision tree effectively identified key factors for IAPI, complementing the logistic regression analysis and providing a scientific basis for the further development of structural risk assessment, prevention, and treatment strategies for IAPI.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To develop and compare four predictive models for intraoperative acquired pressure injury (IAPI) in surgical patients. METHODS One hundred patients undergoing various surgeries (hepatobiliary, pancreas, spleen, gastrointestinal, and cardiac surgeries) at Ruijin Hospital from November 2021 to September 2022 were included in this prospective cohort study. Four pressure injury risk assessment scales were used to measure the pressure injury risk: the Braden scale, Munro Pressure Injury Risk Assessment Scale, Scott Triggers tool, and CORN Intraoperative Acquired Pressure Injury Risk Assessment Scale. The patients were divided into the IAPI group and non-IAPI group. RESULTS In total, 37% of patients (37/100) developed class I/stage pressure injury (erythema) after surgery, which resolved within 2 hours after surgery in 86.49% of cases and further progressed to class II/stage or higher pressure injury within 6 days in 15.63% of cases. The application effects of the four commonly used risk assessment tools were compared with the sensitivity, specificity, and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve. The Munro Scale showed the best sensitivity and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve among the four tools for postoperative assessment, but its specificity was only 20.63. CONCLUSIONS More appropriate assessment tools are required for IAPI risk evaluation.

Abstract
Hospital-acquired pressure injuries create a tremendous cost to health care organizations and negatively affect quality and patient safety. Surgical patients are at an increased risk for skin injury, particularly a pressure injury, because of a lack of sensation and immobility during a procedure. An interprofessional team at our facility identified factors that place surgical patients at risk for skin injury. We developed a risk assessment protocol in March 2021 using the Six Sigma DMAIC (define, measure, analyze, improve, and control) method. After data review and analysis, we identified age of 65 years or older, existence of a skin condition, and procedural duration greater than four hours as significant predictors for postoperative skin injury. Our findings reinforce the benefit of using an appropriate risk assessment protocol that alerts the perioperative team members to at-risk patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Operating room (OR)-related pressure injuries (PIs) constitute the majority of all hospital-acquired PIs. The aim of this study is to reveal the prevalence and risk factors of OR-related PIs. METHOD This study used a cohort design. The data were collected at Acıbadem Maslak Hospital in Istanbul between November 2018 and May 2019. The study population consisted of all patients undergoing surgery between these dates (n=612). The haphazard sampling method was used following application of the inclusion criteria. A patient identification form, the 3S intraoperative pressure ulcer risk assesment scale and the Braden Scale were used to collect data. RESULTS Within the scope of the study, data were collected from 403 patients, of which 57.1% (n=230) were female and 42.9% (n=173) were male; mean age was 47.90±18.15 years. During surgery, PIs were detected in 8.4% of patients. In total, 42 PIs were detected in patients in the study; 92.8% were stage 1 and 7.2% were stage 2. It was determined that the PIs observed in 11.8% (n=4) of the patients were related to device/instrument use and 23.5% (n=8) were related to the positioning device. Risk factors found to be significant in the development of PIs were sex (male) (p=0.049), large amount of bleeding during surgery (p=0.001), dry (p=0.020) and lighter skin (p=0.012), duration of surgery (p=0.001), type of anaesthesia (p=0.015), and medical devices used (p=0.001). CONCLUSION Early identification of risk factors may reduce OR-related PIs. Guidelines and procedures that focus on preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative evaluation can be developed to reduce and prevent surgery-related PIs and to standardise care.

Abstract
AIM This retrospective study aims to determine the impacts of two different products (barrier cream, barrier spray) routinely used before surgery on the development of postoperative pressure injuries in patients undergoing lung lobectomy. MATERIALS AND METHODS In the study, the researchers retrospectively examined the data of 60 patients who underwent lobectomy in a university hospital's thoracic surgery clinic between 12.02.2021 and 14.02.2022. The patients were divided into two groups: those to whom a barrier cream was applied (30) and those to whom a barrier spray was applied. The Patient Description Form and the Braden Risk Assessment Tool were used in data collection. The Mann-Whitney U and Kruskal-Wallis tests were conducted for statistical analyses. RESULTS In the study, the development rates of blanchable erythema and stage I pressure injuries in the sacral and dorsal regions were significantly higher in patients to whom a barrier spray was applied than in patients to whom a barrier cream was applied (p < 0.05). Pain intensity in the sacral and dorsal regions was significantly lower in patients to whom a barrier cream was applied than those to whom a barrier spray was applied (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION Blanchable erythema and intraoperative pressure injury were observed less in patients in whom a barrier cream was used before surgery. Surgical nurses should first evaluate the risk in the preoperative period in the clinics and benefit from the use of barrier cream to prevent the development of blanchable erythema and intraoperative pressure injury.

Abstract
Purpose: Neurosurgical interventions are long and complex, and additional difficulties are encountered in positioning in the operating room.The aim of the study is to determine the risk of pressure injury development in the intraoperative period of patients undergoing elective cranial surgery.
Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted with 127 patients who met the inclusion criteria and underwent elective cranial surgery in a city hospital between September and October 2021. 3S Operating Room Pressure Injury Risk Diagnostic Scale were used to collect data.
Results: It was determined that 55.1% of the patients were female, their mean age was 53.22±13.47 years, and 61.4% had at least one chronic disease. It was determined that 71.7% of the patients were operated with the diagnosis of cerebellar tumor. Stage 1 pressure ulcers were observed in 37% of the patients. It was determined that the total score obtained from the scale was 14.87±2.83 and the patients were at low risk for pressure injury. Age, body mass index and duration of the surgical procedure were found to be independent factors affecting the patients' operating room pressure ulcer risk assessment scale score.
Conclusion:It was determined that the risk of pressure injury in patients who underwent cranial surgery was low level.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There are several possible interventions for managing pressure ulcers (sometimes referred to as pressure injuries), ranging from pressure-relieving measures, such as repositioning, to reconstructive surgery. The surgical approach is usually reserved for recalcitrant wounds (where the healing process has stalled, or the wound is not responding to treatment) or wounds with full-thickness skin loss and exposure of deeper structures such as muscle fascia or bone. Reconstructive surgery commonly involves wound debridement followed by filling the wound with new tissue. Whilst this is an accepted means of ulcer management, the benefits and harms of different surgical approaches, compared with each other or with non-surgical treatments, are unclear. This is an update of a Cochrane Review published in 2016. OBJECTIVES To assess the effects of different types of reconstructive surgery for treating pressure ulcers (category/stage II or above), compared with no surgery or alternative reconstructive surgical approaches, in any care setting. SEARCH METHODS We used standard, extensive Cochrane search methods. The latest search date was January 2022. SELECTION CRITERIA Published or unpublished randomised controlled trials (RCTs) that assessed reconstructive surgery in the treatment of pressure ulcers. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS Two review authors independently selected the studies, extracted study data, assessed the risk of bias and undertook GRADE assessments. We would have involved a third review author in case of disagreement. MAIN RESULTS We identified one RCT conducted in a hospital setting in the USA. It enrolled 20 participants aged between 20 and 70 years with stage IV ischial or sacral pressure ulcers (involving full-thickness skin and tissue loss). The study compared two reconstructive techniques for stage IV pressure ulcers: conventional flap surgery and cone of pressure flap surgery, in which a large portion of the flap tip is de-epithelialised and deeply inset to obliterate dead space. There were no clear data for any of our outcomes, although we extracted some information on complete wound healing, wound dehiscence, pressure ulcer recurrence and wound infection. We graded the evidence for these outcomes as very low-certainty. The study provided no data for any other outcomes. AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS Currently there is very little randomised evidence on the role of reconstructive surgery in pressure ulcer management, although it is considered a priority area. More rigorous and robust research is needed to explore this intervention.

Abstract
Great efforts have been performed on the production of advanced biomaterials with the combination of self-healing and wound healing properties in implant/tissue engineering biomedical area. Inspired by this idea, chitosan (CHI) based hydrogels can be used to treat a less investigated class of harmful chronic wounds: ulcers or pressure ulcers. Thus, CHI was crosslinked with previously synthesized polyethylene glycol diacid (PEG-diacid) to obtain different CHI-PEG hydrogel formulations with high H-bonding tendency resulting in self-repair ability. Here presented results show biocompatible, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and self-healing CHI-PEG hydrogels with a promising future in the treatment of ulcerated wounds by a significant improvement in metabolic activity (94.51 ± 4.38 %), collagen and elastin quantities (2.12 ± 0.63 μg collagen and 4.97 ± 0.61 μg elastin per mg dermal tissue) and histological analysis. Furthermore, cefuroxime (CFX), tetracycline (TCN) and amoxicillin (AMX) antibiotics, and acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) anti-inflammatory agent were sustainedly released for enhancing antibacterial and anti-inflammatory activities of hydrogels.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pressure injuries remain among the most common problems faced by plastic surgeons and comprise a large portion of wound clinic practice. However, little is known about the overall morbidity related to the disease. This research sought to identify the burden related to the diagnosis of pressure injuries. METHODS We used the Global Burden of Disease Study 2017 to extract information about incidence and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) related to pressure injuries from 1990 to 2017. Descriptive statistics were used to identify changes in the outcomes of interest. RESULTS A relative though not statistically significantly decrease in the incidence and burden of pressure injuries was observed between 1990 and 2017. Rates of incidence in the US appear higher than other higher socio-demographic index countries. No clinically and statistically significant changes were observed based on age or sex. CONCLUSIONS Pressure injury incidence and burden have remained relatively stable between 1990 and 2017 with no significant improvement noted. There is room for improvement on a national performance level, and further research is needed regarding inconsistencies in regional outcomes.

Abstract
This report presents the case of a 57-year-old male patient with a history of hypertension, obesity, dyslipidemia, and coronary disease that after a prolonged postcoronary surgery hospitalization developed a sacral butterfly-shaped sore, with asymmetric involvement of the base of both buttocks, grade III on the left and grade IV on the right sides. The lesion was very painful and had a negative impact on the patient's sleep and mood. Following the initial surgical debridement and treatment with collagenase ointment, the wound showed delayed healing, an increase in necrotic tissue, and purulent discharge, requiring a second surgical debridement that revealed a deeper involvement of the wound. After a month with poor therapeutic response, it was decided to change the treatment to the application of gauzes embedded in an ointment rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), ceramides, and antimicrobial peptides, Curefini® ointment. After 30 days of treatment, a 50% reduction of the initial wound diameter was obtained with a positive impact on the patient's quality of life, together with a reduction of incidental and spontaneous local pain resulting in better night rest and a return of appetite and strength. During the treatment course, the patient did not suffer any local or systemic infection in connection with the wound. After one month, the patient could discontinue the use of opioid analgesics. A 95% closure of the lesion was achieved in 45 days. This case highlights the therapeutic efficacy of the treatment of cavitated wounds with a product based on natural ingredients that helps reduce pain and promotes granulation and reepithelialization.

Abstract
BACKGROUND: Patients undergoing surgery are at risk of developing pressure sores up to 72 h after surgery. The incidence of pressure injury can affect patient outcomes and quality of care. Pressure injuries have many risk factors and causes. The Munro Pressure Ulcer Risk Assessment Scale for Perioperative Patients was used to assess risk factors for developing a pressure injury. One of the interventions to prevent pressure injuries during and after surgery is polyurethane foams.
AIM: The study aimed to describe the risk of pre-operative pressure injury, the use of intraoperative polyurethane foams, and the incidence of post-operative pressure injury in a private hospital in western Indonesia.
METHODS: A cross-sectional quantitative descriptive study was conducted among 81 patients undergoing surgery using purposive sampling. The pre-operative risk assessment was conducted with the Munro scale for the pre-operative phase. The use of polyurethane foams during surgery and pressure injury incidence was observed.
RESULTS: The results showed that 62 (76.5%) respondents were at moderate risk for pressure injury. 42 (51.9%) respondents used polyurethane foams in the intraoperative phase. Based on observation 72 h postoperatively, there was no pressure injury incidence.
CONCLUSION: Pressure injuries can be prevented by identifying risk factors before the surgery. Nurses and surgeons need to be aware of the risk of pressure ulcers in the pre-, inter-, and post-operative phases. The use of polyurethane foams during surgery can be considered an intervention to prevent pressure injury.

Abstract
Perioperative leaders at a pediatric trauma hospital initiated an examination of the existing processes for pressure injury prevention. They assembled a workgroup comprising a wound and skin clinical nurse specialist, a nursing informatics specialist, and a perioperative nurse specialist who applied a proven change management framework to guide their efforts. The workgroup identified a critical gap in the documentation features in the electronic health record: nurses were unable to communicate skin assessment and pressure injury information easily and consistently across services (eg, inpatient, emergency department, surgical services). Using evidence from nursing and pressure injury associations on skin assessments, interventions, and documentation, the workgroup developed, trialed, and implemented updated documentation fields, making them consistent throughout the electronic health record. Based on postimplementation survey responses, nurses at the hospital are highly satisfied with the changes. The surgically acquired pressure injury rate at the hospital continues to remain low.

Abstract
Background: Pressure injuries are likely to develop in the operating room due to the high temperature and humidity underneath the patients. This study was designed to reduce sacral pressure injuries using donut-shaped cushions on patients undergoing open heart surgery in a supine position for more than three hours. Materials and Methods: Patients undergoing open heart surgery for more than three hours were randomly allocated. Depending on the allocation, either the donut-shaped cushion (donut group) or hydrophilic foam dressing (control group) was applied before draping. Patients were evaluated for the development of pressure injuries, National Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel (NPUAP) stage, and injury size immediately after surgery, 48 hours, and seven days after surgery. Results: Forty-five patients were enrolled in this study. Twenty-two were assigned to the donut group and 23 were assigned to the control group. Three patients developed pressure injuries of NPUAP stage I or higher. All injuries occurred in the control group, but there was no statistically significant difference (P = 0.083). Conclusions: Patients who underwent cardiac surgery for more than three hours and used a donut-shaped cushion did not develop pressure injuries, although no statistical difference was noted. Specific preventative measures in the operating room may play a crucial role in preventing pressure injuries, and further research should be pursued.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIM Pressure ulcers challenge the health status, complicate medical conditions, and affect quality of life. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to investigate the role of obesity and body weight status, as potentially modifiable risk factors, in the incidence and prevalence of pressure ulcers. METHODS A systematic search of observational studies was performed to assess documents published between January 1990 and December 2019 in PubMed and Scopus. Finally, 17 articles with total sample size of 2228724 in the prevalence and 218178 in the incidence study were included in the meta-analysis. RESULTS The pooled data analysis showed no significant effect of obesity on odds of pressure ulcers' prevalence (OR 0.91, 95% CI 0.65 to 1.27, P = 0.579, I2 = 84.8%) or incidence (OR 0.97, 95% CI 0.56 to 1.66, P = 0.905, I2 = 89.8%) compared with non-obese individuals. Overweight was associated with significantly lower odds of prevalence of pressure ulcers compared to non-overweight individuals (OR 0.54, 95% CI 0.33 to 0.88, P = 0.014, I2 = 90.2%). The subgroup analyses showed significantly higher odds of prevalence (OR 2.38, 95% CI 1.72 to 3.29, P < 0.001, I2 = 63.4%) and incidence (OR 2.28, 95% CI 1.77 to 2.94, P < 0.001, I2 = 27.9%) of pressure ulcers in the underweight compared to normal weight groups. Pooled data analyses showed significantly lower odds of prevalence (OR 0.6, 95% CI 0.37 to 0.96, P = 0.034, I2 = 82%) and incidence (OR 0.72, 95% CI 0.53 to 0.98, P = 0.039, I2 = 67.1%) of pressure ulcers in the overweight than normal weight individuals. The findings showed no significant differences in the odds of prevalence or incidence of pressure ulcers in the obese and morbidly obese compared to normal weight individuals. CONCLUSION This systematic review and meta-analysis showed no significant effect of obesity or morbid obesity on the odds of pressure ulcers. Additionally, overweight was associated with lower odds of pressure ulcers while underweight significantly increased the odds of pressure injuries.

Abstract
PURPOSE To explore the incidence and risk factors of intraoperatively acquired pressure injuries (IAPIs) in patients transferred to the intensive care unit (ICU) after surgery and establish a risk factor prediction model for IAPIs for guiding clinical intervention. DESIGN A prospective, observational study was conducted. METHODS This study was conducted in the West China Hospital of Sichuan University. A total of 648 patients who were transferred to the ICU after surgery were recruited from May 1, 2019, to October 30, 2020. Data were collected preoperatively, intraoperatively, and postoperatively (3 days after transfer to the ICU). The enrolled patients underwent well-developed preventive measures to prevent IAPIs in the operating room and ICU. A sociodemographic and clinical characteristic questionnaire, the Braden pressure injuries risk assessment scale, the activity of daily living scale, and the Nutrition Risk Screening-2002 were used. Descriptive, bivariate, and logistic regression analyses were conducted. FINDINGS The incidence rate of IAPIs within 3 days was 18.67%. The Braden pressure injuries score, preoperative fasting blood glucose level, emergency surgery, and types of vasoactive drugs in the ICU were significant factors for increased risk. The risk factor prediction model was established using the perioperative Braden pressure injuries score (P = 0.027, odds ratio [OR] = 0.901), preoperative fasting blood glucose level (P = 0.027, OR = 1.111), emergency surgery (P < 0.01, OR = 5.054), types of vasoactive drugs in the ICU (P = 0.038, OR = 1.668), and surgery time (P = 0.021, OR = 2.434). The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.74; 95% confidence interval was 0.671 to 0.810; sensitivity was 0.635; specificity was 0.860; and the Youden index was 0.495. CONCLUSIONS In patients transferred to the ICU after surgery, high fasting blood glucose level before surgery, emergency surgery, types of vasoactive drugs, and surgery time should be treated as predisposing factors in the prevention and control of IAPIs. However, the predictive effect of the perioperative Braden pressure injuries risk assessment scale on the risk of IAPIs needs to be further verified.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Episodes of inpatient care-related pressure ulcers (PU) lead to deleterious effects on patient quality of life, and additional costs associated with wound dressings, staff visits and hospitalisation. Accurate prediction of future incidence may be helpful in defining strategies for benchmarking and resource management. Observations of category 2 or above PUs during episodes of care at an NHS Foundation Trust were recorded monthly from 2010 to 2020. Trust-specific interventions designed to reduce PU incidence, such as procurement of specialised staff and equipment, were also recorded. This study aimed to investigate the historical pattern of PU incidence in the Trust to assess intervention effectiveness in reducing PU incidence, and to use historical data to derive estimates of future incidence. METHOD Time-series analysis was conducted on monthly PU incidence data to quantify underlying trends, seasonality and effect of interventions, and to derive a suitable model to predict future incidence levels. RESULTS Mean monthly PU incidence gradually reduced from 20.3 during 2012 to 5.08 during 2019; with a negative linear trend in the presence of concurrent seasonal effects. There was limited evidence that implementation of specific interventions was associated with raised rates of reduction; however, incidence reductions during intervention periods continued from lower baselines. Best estimate predictions revealed that incidence is likely to stay at current levels or below for the foreseeable future. CONCLUSION Past data can be used to model future episodes of inpatient care PU occurrence. Interventions may be effective in reducing PU incidence rates.

Abstract
AIM OF THE STUDY To investigate the effect of support surface usage and positions on interface pressure during surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS This randomized controlled experimental study was conducted between October 2018 and June 2019. The study included patients who had planned surgery in supine and prone positions. The sample size was 72 patients. Patients were assigned to three groups (gel support surface, viscoelastic support surface and standard operating table) according to the determined randomization table. During the surgery, the pressure in the patients' body was recorded. The statistics program IBM SPSS Statistics 25.0 packaged software was used in the analyses of data. RESULTS There was no statistically significant difference between the total body average interface pressure (mmHg) values between the supporting surfaces in the prone position. There was a statistically significant difference between the total body average interface pressure (mmHg) values between the support surfaces in the supine position, and the average interface pressure measured on the viscoelastic foam support surface was significantly lower than the gel support surface and the standard operating table. CONCLUSION In the study, the use of viscoelastic foam support surface was found to be more effective than the use of a standard operating table and gel support surface. Viscoelastic foam support surface is recommended for patients at risk for pressure injury in the operating room.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To describe the 10-year prevalence of pressure injury (PI) in a tertiary hospital in China and determine the clinical characteristics of inpatients with PI. METHODS The authors performed a retrospective analysis of PI cases extracted from the electronic health record of a tertiary hospital. The trend of PI prevalence over 10 years was described by estimating the average percent change (EAPC). Comorbidities were described with the Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI). The clinical characteristics of PI were described using the number of cases and composition ratio. RESULTS The overall prevalence of PI was 0.59% (5,838/986,404). From 2009 to 2018, the rate increased from 0.19% to 1.00% (EAPC = 22.46%). When stage I PIs were excluded, the prevalence of PI ranged from 0.15% to 0.79% (EAPC = 21.90%). The prevalence of hospital-acquired PI was 0.13%. Prevalence increased with age (Ptrend < .001) and was significantly higher in men than women (P < .001). Patients with PI were more widely distributed in the ICU (20.58%), vasculocardiology department (11.73%), gastroenterology department (10.18%), and OR (8.29%). Of patients with PI, 71.3% had a CCI score 4 or higher. CONCLUSIONS The PI prevalence in the study facility increased rapidly over the study period. Pressure injuries among patients in the gastroenterology department and in the community deserve more attention. The CCI may be a good indicator for PI risk assessment.

Abstract
Health care organizations no longer receive reimbursement for stage 3, stage 4, and unstageable hospital-acquired pressure injuries, which are never events that require interdisciplinary collaboration to treat and prevent. Perioperative patients are at risk for developing pressure injuries that may not manifest until five or more days after surgery. This quality improvement project aimed to inform inpatient nursing and health care professionals of the potential areas of skin breakdown after surgery using an annotated image (AI) depicting intraoperative patient positioning. To gauge OR nurses' use of the AI, we tracked image addition to the patient records weekly from May 2018 to May 2019 and found an overall average participation rate of 80% to 90%. Adding the AI of surgical positioning and pressure points raised awareness of the potential for skin breakdown and became a valuable communication tool for the inpatient nurses who were providing postoperative care to prevent pressure injuries.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Prolonged surgery is a known risk of pressure ulcer formation. Pressure ulcers affect the quality of life, are a significant cause of morbidity and mortality, and pose a burden on the healthcare system. This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of an alternating pressure (AP) overlay with Gel pad against the Gel pad in reducing interface pressure (IP) during prolonged surgery. METHODS A total of 180 participants from a tertiary hospital were randomized to AP overlay with Gel pad group (n = 90) and Gel pad group (n = 90). Patients were placed supine on the pressure redistributing surfaces, and IP data under the sacrum and ischial tuberosities were collected at an interval of 30 min from 0 min up to a maximum of 570 min. RESULTS Based on data from 133 participants, the average IPs during all the deflation cycles of the AP overlay (with Gel pad) were significantly lower than the average continuous IP recorded for Gel pad throughout the measuring period (p < 0.001). Only three patients (2.26% of study participants) - Gel pad group (n = 2; 2.99%) and AP overlay with Gel pad group (n = 1; 1.52%) developed post-operative pressure ulcer (p = 0.5687). CONCLUSIONS The lower IP during deflation cycles of the AP overlay (with Gel pad) suggests its potential effectiveness in preventing pressure ulcer formation in patients undergoing prolonged surgery. The prevention and reduction of pressure ulcers will have a considerable impact on the improved quality of life and cost savings for the patient. The study findings may facilitate the formulation of policies for preventing pressure ulcer development in the perioperative setting.

Abstract
Guidelines for pressure injury prevention consider the use of pressure-redistributing pads to prevent tissue deformation. However, limited research exists to assess the pressure distribution provided by the operating tables and the effectiveness of pressure-redistributing pads in preventing pressure injuries. In this study, we compared the pressure distribution properties of two surgical table pads and identified parameters influencing pressure injury outcomes after a lengthy surgical procedure. Twenty-seven patients undergoing left ventricular assist device implantation surgery participated in the study. Participants were randomly assigned to use either an air cell-based pad or a gel pad. Interface pressure was recorded during the surgery. We analyzed the effect of surgical table pad type, interface pressure distribution and pressure injury outcomes and analyzed what characteristics of the patients and the interface pressure are most influential for the development of pressure injuries. Comparing the interface pressure parameters between the air-cell group and the gel group, only the peak pressure index x time was significantly different (p < 0.05). We used univariate logistic regression analysis to identify significant predictors for the pressure injury outcome. The support surface was not significant. And, among patient characteristics, only age and BMI were significant (p ≤ 0.05). Among the interface pressure parameters, pressure density maxima, peak pressure index x time, and coefficient of variation were significant for pressure injury outcome (p ≤ 0.05). Peak pressure index, average pressure, and the surgery length were not statistically significant for pressure injury outcomes.

Abstract
Patients undergoing operative and other invasive procedures are at high risk for developing pressure injuries. This study aimed to determine the incidence of perioperative pressure injuries in patients who underwent procedures lasting two hours or more in Turkey and the risk factors that affect the development of pressure injuries. Data were collected during the perioperative period. The incidence of perioperative pressure injuries was 40.4%. The results of univariate logistic regression analysis showed that intraoperative vasopressor use, skin turgor, and diastolic blood pressure less than or equal to 60 mm Hg were significantly related to the development of pressure injuries. There was no significant difference between patients who developed pressure injuries and patients who did not when comparing their preoperative Braden Scale scores. Perioperative nurses should assess each patient for pressure injury risk and perform interventions to prevent pressure injuries during each stage of the patient's perioperative course.

Abstract
An optimal position of the patient during operation may require a compromise between the best position for surgical access and the position a patient and his or her tissues can tolerate without sustaining injury. This scoping review analysed the existing, contemporary evidence regarding surgical positioning-related tissue damage risks, from both biomechanical and clinical perspectives, focusing on the challenges in preventing tissue damage in the constraining operating room environment, which does not allow repositioning and limits the use of dynamic or thick and soft support surfaces. Deep and multidisciplinary aetiological understanding is required for effective prevention of intraoperatively acquired tissue damage, primarily including pressure ulcers (injuries) and neural injuries. Lack of such understanding typically leads to misconceptions and increased risk to patients. This article therefore provides a comprehensive aetiological description concerning the types of potential tissue damage, vulnerable anatomical locations, the risk factors specific to the operative setting (eg, the effects of anaesthetics and instruments), the complex interactions between the tissue damage risk and the pathophysiology of the surgery itself (eg, the inflammatory response to the surgical incisions), risk assessments for surgical patients and their limitations, and available (including emerging) technologies for positioning. The present multidisciplinary and integrated approach, which holistically joins the bioengineering and clinical perspectives, is unique to this work and has not been taken before. Close collaboration between bioengineers and clinicians, such as demonstrated here, is required to revisit the design of operating tables, support surfaces for surgery, surgical instruments for patient stabilisation, and for surgical access. Each type of equipment and its combined use should be evaluated and improved where needed with regard to the two major threats to tissue health in the operative setting: pressure ulcers and neural damage.

Abstract
Aim To analyse patient factors and nurse staffing‐related issues involving hospital‐acquired pressure ulcers in patients at two types of hospital. Background Hospital‐acquired pressure ulcers are important for the safety of hospitalized patients. Hospital‐acquired pressure ulcers not only cause health problems, but also pose an economic burden to patients. In addition to patient factors such as mobility and skin integrity, hospital factors such as nurse staffing can also affect the management of such patients. Methods This study is a retrospective review of patient data and analysis of factors related to hospital‐acquired pressure ulcers using stratified Cox proportional hazards regression. Results A total of 53,923 patients were included. The incidence of hospital‐acquired pressure ulcers was 0.98 per 1,000 days. Hospital‐acquired pressure ulcers were affected by gender, age, previous falls, low oxygen levels, positioning and toilet use. When the levels of nurse staffing were determined as one of the hospital factors, the daily hours of patient care was increased thereby contributing to the reduced incidents of hospital‐acquired pressure ulcers. Conclusion Strategies for preventing hospital‐acquired pressure ulcers should be based on the analysis of risk factors. Implications for Nursing Management Most individual risk factors for hospital‐acquired pressure ulcers identified cannot be modified easily in a short time. Nurse staffing should be set at adequate levels to prevent hospital‐acquired pressure ulcers.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To conduct a systematic review to investigate risk factors, incidence, and preventive strategies for perioperative pressure injuries (PIs). METHODS The authors reviewed four databases for literature published from January 2001 to December 2017. Selected articles included primary quantitative studies with prospective, descriptive, and longitudinal design or randomized controlled trials that evaluated risk factors, incidence, and preventive strategies for perioperative PIs. The studies included were evaluated for methodological quality using the Edwards Method Score. The authors used a standardized extraction form to extract inclusion and exclusion criteria, participant demographics, methodology, PI risk instrument and classification systems, type of surgery and anesthesia, PI risk factors, incidence, preventive strategies, and outcomes evaluation. MAIN RESULTS Of the 115 publications identified, 11 met the inclusion criteria. The risk assessment and PI classification instruments used differed in every study. Incidence of PI varied throughout the studies and was reduced by warming therapy and by a skin care intervention program. CONCLUSIONS Further studies are necessary to develop a standard risk assessment instrument and preventive strategies and to clarify some contradictions evident in the literature.

Abstract
Pressure injury is a serious problem and is common in critical care units. Over the last decade, there is new evidence suggesting that the use of multilayered silicone foam dressing as preventive measures can decrease the incidence and prevalence rate of hospital-acquired pressure injury. The purpose of this study was to investigate the clinical efficacy of this dressing in reducing sacral and coccygeal pressure injury incidence rate as compared with standard preventive interventions in critical care settings.

Abstract
Background and Aims: Decubitus ulcer (DU) is one of the commonly observed health problems among home care patients. As well as deteriorating social, physical, and psychological conditions of the patients, it is a cause of severe economic loss due to long-term bed occupancy and high care costs. This study aimed to examine the factors which affect the development of decubitus ulcer among home care patients and provide extensive data to the literature. Patients and Methods: This study was conducted with on home care patients aged over 40 years old who were registered at Etimesgut Ankara Sehit Sait Erturk State Hospital. Following the face-to-face interviews with the patients at home, the scores of Subjective Global Assessment (SGA), Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA), Daily Life Activities (DLA), and Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) were recorded. Development of DU was monitored through routine examinations in the home care patients. It was encountered how SGA, MNA, DLA and GDS functioned in predicting the development of DU using logistic regression during effort and also how status of equipment and presence of comorbid diseases affected its development. Results: It was determined that malnutrition affected development of DU by decreasing mobility while the presence of psychological problems increased the risk for development. Furthermore, number of comorbid diseases and status of health equipment used by the patients were found effective in the development of DU. Conclusion: It is obvious that decreased inability of independent mobility in DLA increase the risk for malnutrition and consequently two assessments show a negative impact on psychology of the patient.

Abstract
Surgical patients are prone to developing hospital-acquired pressure ulcers (HAPU). Therefore, a better prediction tool is needed to predict risk using preoperative data. This study aimed to determine, from previously published HAPU risk factors, which factors are significant among our surgical population and to develop a prediction tool that identifies pressure ulcer risk before the operation. A literature review was first performed to elicit all the published HAPU risk factors before conducting a retrospective case-control study using medical records. The known HAPU risks were compared between patients with HAPU and without HAPU who underwent operations during the same period (July 2015-December 2016). A total of 80 HAPU cases and 189 controls were analysed. Multivariate logistic regression analyses identified eight significant risk factors: age ≥ 75 years, female gender, American Society of Anaesthesiologists ≥ 3, body mass index < 23, preoperative Braden score ≤ 14, anaemia, respiratory disease, and hypertension. The model had bootstrap-corrected c-statistic 0.78 indicating good discrimination. A cut-off score of ≥6 is strongly predictive, with a positive predictive value of 73.2% (confidence interval [CI]: 59.7%-84.2%) and a negative predictive value of 80.7% (CI: 74.3%-86.1%). SPURS contributes to the preoperative identification of pressure ulcer risk that could help nurses implement preventive measures earlier.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to build an artificial neural network (ANN) model for predicting surgery-related pressure injury (SRPI) in cardiovascular surgical patients. DESIGN Prospective cohort study. SUBJECTS AND SETTING One hundred forty-nine patients who had cardiovascular surgery were included in the study. This study was conducted in a 1000-bed teaching hospital in Eastern China where 250 to 350 cardiac surgeries are performed each year. METHODS We performed a prospective cohort study among consecutive patients undergoing cardiovascular surgery between January and December 2015. The ANN model was built based on possible SRPI risk factors. The model performance was tested by a receiver operating characteristic curve and the C-index. A C-index from 0.5 to 0.7 is classified as having low accuracy, 0.7 to 0.9 as having moderate accuracy, and 0.9 to 1.0 as having high accuracy. We also compared the actual SRPI incidences based on the ANN stratification. RESULTS Thirty-seven of 147 patients developed SRPIs, yielding an incidence rate of 24.8% (95% CI, 18.1-32.6). The C-index was 0.815, which showed the ANN model had a moderate prediction value for SRPI. According to the ANN model, the SRPI predicting incidence ranged from 6.4% to 67.7%. Surgery-related pressure injury incidences were significantly different among 3 risk groups stratified by the ANN (P < .05). CONCLUSION We established an ANN model that provides moderate prediction of SRPI in patients undergoing cardiovascular surgical procedures. Identification and additional associated factors should be incorporated into the ANN model to increase its predictive ability.

Abstract
MINI: Pressure injuries are prevalent in patients undergoing spine surgery while prone. Multiple risk factors exist and should be addressed. We found that patients undergoing spinal deformity correction surgery are at unique risk (odds ratio 3.31, P = 0.010) due to body morphological changes occurring secondary to intraoperative changes in spinal alignment. STUDY DESIGN Review of data and prospective study. OBJECTIVE To investigate the prevalence and predictive factors of pressure injuries in spine surgery performed in the prone position, and to determine whether morphological changes and truncal shifts occurring during deformity correction predispose to this complication. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA Spine surgery performed in the prone position presents the risk of developing pressure injuries. This risk is potentially increased in deformity correction, because it tends to involve more extensive procedures, with associated longer operating times. METHODS Cases of pressure injuries after spine surgery in the prone position were reviewed to ascertain prevalence and determine risk factors. Data including patient factors (age, sex, height, weight, body mass index, American Society of Anesthesiologists grade, comorbidities, Braden scale, neurological status, spinal pathology) and surgical factors (approach, procedure type, number of screws, operated levels, operative time) were collected. Independent risk factors were identified via multivariate analysis. A subsequent prospective analysis of all patients undergoing spinal deformity correction was conducted by performing intraoperative measurements of body morphological changes and shifts in truncal positions. Statistical correlation was performed to determine whether positional shifts cause pressure injuries. RESULTS The prevalence of pressure injuries was 23.0%. Previous skin problems (P = 0.034), myelopathy (P = 0.013), operative time >300 minutes (P = 0.005), and more than four operated levels (P = 0.006) were independent predictors of pressure injuries. Being a spinal deformity patient was also an independent risk factor for developing pressure injuries (odds ratio 3.31, P = 0.010). Significant changes in body measurements during deformity correction were predictive of pressure injuries. CONCLUSION Pressure injuries are prevalent in patients undergoing spine surgery while prone. Future studies should investigate strategies to prevent this complication based on the multiple risk factors identified in the present study. Patients undergoing spinal deformity correction surgery are particularly at risk due to intraoperative body morphological changes. Improved padding methods should be trialed in future studies.
