dc.description.abstract | Background: Pressure injury (PI) has a significant impact on patients and their
families, and are costly to healthcare institutions. Perioperative PI remains
problematic, although little is reported about current perioperative pressure
injury prevention (PIP) strategies.
Aim: To identify the key perioperative PIP strategies, following a systematic
review of published research, to describe existing gaps in the literature, and to
inform the development of subsequent observational study.
Design: An integrative literature review method developed by Whittemore and
Knafl1 was used.
Method: Research inclusion and exclusion criteria were identified a priori. Six
data bases were searched and search terms included pressure ulcer/sore
prevention, perioperative, operating room. Two review authors evaluated the
quality of the studies using a validated tool, and a third author arbitrated
when there was a discrepancy. Agreement between the two rates was
measured using an intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC).
Findings: Based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 270 papers were
screened and 10 quantitative studies were included. Quality scores ranged
from 29% to 89%, resulting in an ICC of 0.955 (95% confidence interval, 0.821
to 0.989, p < 0.0001). Five key PIP strategies were identified, including skin
inspection, support surfaces and positioning aids, thermoregulation, medical
devices and/or equipment, and interprofessional communication.
Conclusions: This review confirmed the scarcity of current evidence of
perioperative PIP practice and identified five key perioperative PIP strategies.
Most of the reviewed studies focused on one main PIP strategy, and no direct
observational studies have been undertaken in relation to perioperative PIP. | |
