Preventable Events: Pressure Ulcers
• Pressure ulcers (PUs) can be identified, measured, and reported
• Usually preventable (Long term care divides pressure ulcer reimbursement into avoidable & unavoidable)
• Significant body of scientific evidence is available to guide practice and prevent Pus
• CMS reported 257,412 cases of preventable pressure ulcers as secondary diagnosis
• October, 2008: Stage III and IV PUs acquired after admission will not be reimbursed
• Documented POA by a provider (a physician or any qualified practitioner legally accountable for establishing a patients diagnosis & must sign the comprehensive initial skin assessment

Shear
Friction MOISTURE
Pressure Ulcers
A pressure ulcer is localized injury to the skin and/or underlying tissue usually over a bony prominence, as a result of pressure, or pressure in combination with shear and/or friction.
Moisture increases the friction coefficient
Adapted from Barb Bates-Jensen
What Causes a Pressure Ulcer?
• Mechanical loading• Pressure• Friction• Shear
• Tissue tolerance• Ability of skin and
supporting structures to redistribute pressure
• Affected by extrinsic and intrinsic factors
Adapted from Barb Bates-Jensen

Deep Tissue Injury (DTI)
• High risk patient population-ICU– Immobility– Poor perfusion states
• Purple in color, “blood blister”– The area may be preceded by
tissue that is painful, firm, mushy, boggy, warmer or cooler as compared to adjacent tissue.
• Wound deteriorates quickly • Usually progresses muscle, bone • Heels are high risk areas

New Definitions
• Stage I:– Intact skin with non-blanchable redness of a
localized area usually over a bony prominence.
– Darkly pigmented skin may not have visible blanching; its color may differ from the surrounding area.
National Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel and European Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel. Pressure ulcer prevention & treatment :clinical practice guideline. Washington, DC: National Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel; 2009.
New Definition
• Stage II:– Partial thickness loss of dermis presenting as a
shallow open ulcer with a red pink wound bed, without slough.
– May also present as an intact or open/ruptured serum-filled blister.
• Further description:– Presents as a shiny or dry shallow ulcer without
slough or bruising.* – This stage should not be used to describe skin tears,
tape burns, perineal dermatitis, maceration or excoriation.

11
New Definitions
• Unstageable:– Full thickness tissue loss in which the base of the
ulcer is covered by slough (yellow, tan, gray, green or brown) and/or eschar (tan, brown or black) in the wound bed.
• Further description:– Until enough slough and/or eschar is removed to
expose the base of the wound, the true depth, and therefore stage, cannot be determined. Stable (dry, adherent, intact without erythema or fluctuance) eschar on the heels serves as “the body’s natural (biological) cover” and should not be removed.

Shear & Friction
• Skin shear stress is an internal stress caused when adjacent surfaces rub across each other, which results in twisting and tearing of the underlying blood vessels and leads to tissue ischemia and localized tissue death.
• Friction is used to describe all phenomena that relate to interface properties and sliding of surfaces with respect to each other. This type of injury is often seen on the elbows or heels due to rubbing against bed sheeting and/or from re-positioning in bed
12/4/2011
13
Moisture Injury: Incontinence Associated
Dermatitis
• Inflammatory response to the injury of the water-protein-lipid matrix of the skin– Caused from prolonged exposure to
urinary and fecal incontinence
• Physical signs on the perineum & buttocks– Erythema, swelling, oozing,
vesiculation, crusting and scaling
Brown DS & Sears M, OWM 1993;39:2-26Gray M et al OWN 2007;34(1):45-53.
Impact of Moisture
• Urinary and fecal incontinence are common in the acute care setting, occurring in more than one-third of hospitalized adults.
• Humidity/Moisture: – Strain at which the skin breaks is 4x greater
with excess moisture than dry skin
– Moisture increases the risk of shear & friction damage
Nicolopoulos CS, et al. Arch Dermatol Res. 1998;290:638-640Bliss DZ, et al. Nurs Res.2000;49:101-108.Gray M, et al. Adv Skin Wound Care. 2002;15(4):170-175.

Six Essential Elements of Pressure Ulcer Prevention
• Admission Assessment
• Reassess Daily
• Inspect Skin Daily
• Manage Moisture
• Optimize Nutrition and Hydration
• Minimize Pressure
http://www.ihi.org/IHI/Programs/Campaign/accessed 3/29/2008
Getting Started: 5 Million Lives Campaign2-Steps to Preventing Pressure Ulcers
Identify patients at risk
• Reliably implement prevention strategies for all patients who are identified at risk– Maintain healthy skin
– Minimize pressure
– Manage moisture
– Nutrition & hydration
12/4/2011

Identify Patients at High Risk
Risk Assessment On Admission, Daily, Change in Patient Condition
• Use standard EBP risk assessment tool• Research has shown Risk Assessment Tools are more
accurate than RN assessment alone.• Braden Scale for Predicting Pressure Sore Risk
– 6 subscales• Rated 1-4
– Pressure on tissues• Mobility, sensory perception, activity
– Tissue tolerance for pressure• Nutrition, moisture, shear/friction
– Score 6-23
www,ihi.org; Macklebust,JA (2009) The Braden Scale reliable assessment to effective interventions
12/4/2011
19
Braden Validation Scales
Levels of Risk:Mild 15-18, Moderate 13-14, High 10-12, Severe <9
Incidence of Pressure Ulcers in Neuro ICU• 186 NICU patients• Assessed within 12 hrs of admission with pictures/Braden
and re-examine every 4 days or at d/c from unit• Measured: risk factors, tested usefulness of the Braden as
a predictor
• Results– 23/186 patients developed a pressure ulcer (12.4%)– Braden scale independent predictor of development– >16 Braden score no ulcer– Being under weight was a significant, distinct factor– Risk of a stage II ulcer significantly increases with a Braden
score < 13
Fife C, et al. CCM 2001;29:283-290
12/4/2011
20
Identification of Risk
• Use of multiple methods to visually cue staff as to which patients are at risk• Stickers of chart or outside patients door
• Post days since last pressure ulcer data
• Change documentation tools to ensure admission & daily risk assessment
• Education of staff

The Bath: The First Line Of Defense
Removal to Reduce Skin Injury
• Use of Liquid adhesive remover to prevent injury & remove residue– Prevents or reduces the incidence of skin tears
– Look for ones that do not use alcohol or acetone (drying)
– Grip and rip causes skin injury
– Product at point of care will enhance usage

The Role of IPH in Improving Clinical and Economic Outcomes
• 21-bed SICU
• Prospective study:
– Staff education to improve knowledge base of the non-
licensed staff
– Patient intervention component to improve
communication of pressure ulcer risk to the registered
nurses
• A pre and post intervention knowledge survey was conducted.
• Implemented Basinless Bath with Skin Check and Barrier
cloths with Peri Check
• Educated around the Skin Check label and proper usage.
Non-licensed staff received instruction in observational skills
and the facilities bathing and incontinence management
protocol were changed.Carr D, Benoit R. Advances in Skin and Wound Care.2009;22(2)
12/4/2011
24
The Role of IPH in Improving Clinical and Economic Outcomes
• Pressure ulcers decreased from 7.14% to 0%
• 100% of the staff were able to demonstrate adequate knowledge of hospital protocol and procedure after the intervention
• Department manager confirmed by random sampling of the audit tools that reported alterations in skin integrity was followed up by the responsible RN.
Outcomes

Getting Started: 5 Million Lives Campaign2-Steps to Preventing Pressure Ulcers
Identify patients at risk
• Reliably implement prevention strategies for all patients who are identified at risk– Maintain healthy skin
– Minimize pressure
– Manage moisture
– Nutrition & hydration

Strategies from the 5 million Lives Campaign
• Maintain healthy skin
• Manage moisture
• Minimize pressure
Optimal Hygiene
• ph balanced (4-6.8)– Stable pH discourages colonization of bacteria &
risk of infection– Bar soaps may harbor pathogenic bacteria– Skin pH requires 45 minutes to return to normal
following a ordinary washing
• Non-drying, lotion applied
• Multiple steps can lead to large process variation
• Excessive washing/use of soap compromises the water holding capacity of the skin

Impact of Wash Cloth/Soap Cleansing and Towel Drying on Skin
• Methodology• 15 healthy volunteers, 6 different W/D techniques
• 3 W/D techniques on each arm repeated twice with a 2hr rest period
• Measured: Transepidermal water loss (TEWL), skin hydration, skin pH and erythema
• Results:• TEWL increased with each type of W/D episode, further loss
with repeated procedures
• Increase skin pH with all W/D, esp with soap
Voegel D. J WOCN, 2008;35(1):84-90
Washing with soap & water and towel drying significantly disruptive effective on skin barrier function

Waterborne Infections Study
• Conservative estimates suggest significant morbidity and mortality from waterborne pathogens
• Immunocompromised patients are at the greatest risk
• Recommendation I: Minimize patient exposure to hospital tap water via bottled water and pre-packaged, disposable bathing sponges
Anaissie E. et. al. Arch Int Med. 2002; 162:1483-92
Bacteria Biofilm
• Organized communities of viable & non-viable microorganisms protected within a matrix of extracellular polysaccharides, nutrients & entrained particles
• Adhere to inert material (plumbing)
• Bacteria contain within Biofilm may be transmitted to at risk patients by direct contact with water used for ingestion, ice, washing

EBP Recommendations to Achieve Offloading &
Reduce Pressure
• Turn & reposition every 2 hours (avoid positioning patients on a pressure ulcer)– Repositioning should be undertaken to reduce the duration
& magnitude of pressure over vulnerable areas– Cushioning devices to maintain alignment /30 ° side-lying
& prevent pressure on boney prominences– Use lifting device or other aids to reposition & make it easy
to achieve the turn– Assess whether actual offloading has occurred
Reger SI et al, OWM, 2007;53(10):50-58, www.ihi.orgNational Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel and European Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel.Pressure ulcer prevention & treatment :clinical practice guideline. Washington, DC: National Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel; 2009.
EBP Recommendations to Achieve Offloading &
Reduce Pressure
• Turn & reposition every 2 hours (avoid positioning patients on a pressure ulcer)– Use active support surfaces for patients at higher risk of
development where frequent manual turning may be difficult– Heal-protection devices should elevate the heel completely (off-
load) in such a way as to distribute weight along the calf• Uses pillows to offload if expected immobility < 8hrs• Uses device is expected to be immobile > 8hrs
– Progressive mobility program– 2 clinical trials currently underway to examine turning regimes
on pressure ulcers & other outcomes in acute & ICU patients (2011) Reger SI et al, OWM, 2007;53(10):50-58, www.ihi.org

EBP Recommendations to Reduce Injury From Incontinence & Other Forms of Moisture
• Clean the skin as soon as it becomes soiled.• Use a protective cream or ointment on the skin to protect
it from wetness.• Disposable barrier cloth prevents unprotected episodes
(www.ihi.org 5 Million Lives Campaign)
• Use an incontinence pad and/or briefs to absorb/wick away wetness from the skin.
• Consideration of pouching device or a bowel management system
• Ensure an appropriate microclimate & breathability• < 4 layers of linen National Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel and European Pressure Ulcer Advisory

Challenges of Incontinence Care
• Individually packaged products are not always within reach during incontinence clean up
• Risk of unprotected skin is high
• Cleaning and protection usually done as separate activities
• Washcloths often become disposable when soiled
• Increased risk for contamination
• Not all products have a chemical barrier

What Lies Beneath the Patient
• Linen– Linen increases entrapment of
moisture– Creates wrinkles– May increase risk of skin
compromise– Limit linens on all beds
• Especially on pressure redistribution beds and low air loss beds
– Newer ICU beds are pressure redistribution surfaces

National Problem of Ergonomic Injury in Healthcare Services
COST FACTORS In 1990, the annual cost of back injury ranged from
$50 to $100 billion in the US
One low back injury: $40,000
Indirect costs outweigh direct costs 5:1
$20 billion per year is spent annually on workers compensation costs associated with musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs)
$100 billion per year is spent on indirect costs
Injured nurses constitute about 1/4 of all claims and 1/3 of total compensation costs.

EBP Recommendations to Achieve Offloading &
Reduce Pressure
• Turn & reposition every 2 hours (avoid positioning patients on a pressure ulcer)– Repositioning should be undertaken to reduce the duration
& magnitude of pressure over vulnerable areas– Cushioning devices to maintain alignment /30 ° side-lying
& prevent pressure on boney prominences– Use lifting device or other aids to reposition & make it easy
to achieve & sustain the turn– Assess whether actual offloading has occurred

Body Position: Clinical Practice vs. Standard
• Methodology– 74 patients/566 total hours of observation– 3 tertiary hospitals– Change in body position recorded every 15 minutes– Average observation time 7.7 hours– Online MD survey
• Results– 49.3% of observed time no body position change– 2.7% had a q 2 hour body position change– 80-90% believed q 2 hour position change should occur
but only 57% believed it happened in their ICU
Goldhill DR et al. Anaesthesia 2008;63:509-515
Positioning Prevalence: UK ICU’s
• Methodology– Prospectively recorded, 2 days, 40 ICU’s in the UK– Analysis on 393 sets of observations– Turn defined as supine position to a right or left side lying
• Results:– 5 patients prone at any time, 3 .8% (day 1) & 5% (day 2) rotating beds– Patients on back 46% of observation– Left 28.4%– Right 25%– Head up 97.4%– Average time between turns 4.85 hrs (3.3 SD)– No significant association between time and age, wt, ht, resp dx, intubation,
sedation score, day of wk, nurse/patient ratio, hospital

HemodynamicInstability
Is it a Barrier to Positioning?
???
Hemodynamic Status
• No differences noted in hemodyanmic variables between supine & positions
• Lateral turn results in a 3-9% decrease in SVO2 which takes 5-10 minutes to return to baseline
• Appears the act of turning has the greatest impact on any instability seen
• Minimize factors which contribute to imbalances in oxygen supply & demand

Use Lifting/Transfer Devices & Other Aids to Reduce Shear & Friction…..the Reality
National Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel and European Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel. Pressure ulcer prevention & treatment :clinical practice guideline. Washington, DC: National Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel; 2009www.ihi.rog
Mechanical Lifts ≠ Lift sheet has to be removed and replaced for each use
2-4 Individuals to assist with draw sheet to lift/turn ≠ Resource challenges & risk of caregiver injury
Disposable/Reusable Glide/Transfer Sheets ≠ Sheet has to be removed and replaced for each use.
Turn & Assist Bed Mechanism ≠ Currently not used to its potential

Surface Selection International Guidelines
• Use a higher specification foam mattress (Viso-elastic polymer foam) rather than standard hospital foam mattress for patients at risk (A)
• Use active support surface/overlay or mattress for patients at higher risk where frequent manual turning is not possible (B)
• Continue to turn and reposition regardless of the surface the patient is on (C)
• Unsure heels are free from the surface of the bed (C)• Pillows are a short term therapy for elevation of heels (B)• For patients not alert or cooperative use a heel device that
distributes the weight along the calf (C)National Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel and European Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel. Pressure ulcer prevention & treatment :clinical practice guideline. Washington, DC: National Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel; 2009.
