Cynthia and I have been bedside nurses in the Cardiothoracic ICU at Barnes Jewish Hospital for over 10 years. We also function in the role of unit-bases wound liaison nurses to assist staff with the long standing challenge of pressure prevention.

.
Starting in 2008 the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services specified they would no longer cover additional costs for hospital acquired pressure ulcers resulting in transformational change in hospital payment/reimbursement practices.

STATISTICS• Estimated 60,000 hospitalized patients die each year from complications due to hospital acquired pressure ulcers.• Estimated cost of managing a single full-thickness pressure ulcer
averages $70,000• Total cost for treatment of pressure ulcers in the United States is
estimated at $11 BILLION a year.• The prevalence of pressure ulcers in heath care facilities in increasing.• Rates vary considerably by clinical setting with acute care leading the list.

.
ANALYSIS OF BARRIERS• Current practices not standardized but guided by primary
nurse• Nurse’s belief that pressure ulcers could not be prevented in
certain patients• Reluctance to identify and document• Unawareness of available products• EDUCATION, EDUCATION, EDUCATION
![Page 6: . “Saving The Skin: pressure ulcer prevention in the ICU” Barbara Logue RN, BSN, CCRN Cynthia Copeland RN, BSN, CCRN Cardiothoracic ICU (56ICU) Barnes-Jewish.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032522/56649d6e5503460f94a4ec31/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
.
EVALUATION OF OUR CURRENT PRACTICES
• Turning schedule• Braden scale assessment tool• Skin assessment
![Page 7: . “Saving The Skin: pressure ulcer prevention in the ICU” Barbara Logue RN, BSN, CCRN Cynthia Copeland RN, BSN, CCRN Cardiothoracic ICU (56ICU) Barnes-Jewish.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032522/56649d6e5503460f94a4ec31/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

DEVELOPING AN INTERDISCIPLINARY TEAM
• Wound/skin liaison •Unit manager• Staff RNs • Wound/ostomy team• Bed providers •Skin product suppliers • Physical therapist •OR involvement• Dietitian
![Page 8: . “Saving The Skin: pressure ulcer prevention in the ICU” Barbara Logue RN, BSN, CCRN Cynthia Copeland RN, BSN, CCRN Cardiothoracic ICU (56ICU) Barnes-Jewish.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032522/56649d6e5503460f94a4ec31/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
.
• Use of Braden Score q12 hours• Redefining role of skin liaison nurses• Better utilization of wound/ostomy
nurses• Use of support surfaces for all patients• Improvement of documentation• Team approach for performance
improvement• Education for all clinical staff• Change thinking from inevitable to
preventable• Evaluation of products and availalbility• Consistent data collection to evaluate
outcomes

DEVELOPING OUR PRESSURE
ULCER PROTOCOL
-Nursing and medical leadership involvement-Renewed emphasis on bedside shift report-Evaluation of units’s pressure ulcer therapy supplies-Aggressive use of prevention tools-Better communication of suspected pressure ulcers-Real-time pressure ulcer identification-Care tailored to problem-Weekly posting of pressure ulcer rates so everyone could see results of our efforts

RESULTS
• Excellent clinical care that has resulted in observable improvement
• Continuous performance improvement• Team-building• Changing, adapting, building
![Page 12: . “Saving The Skin: pressure ulcer prevention in the ICU” Barbara Logue RN, BSN, CCRN Cynthia Copeland RN, BSN, CCRN Cardiothoracic ICU (56ICU) Barnes-Jewish.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032522/56649d6e5503460f94a4ec31/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
.
Purpose• ECMO is a therapy that provides support of
the heart and lungs when patients have severe cardiopulmonary failure– They are at extreme risk of developing pressure ulcers
• We did this evidence-based project to see if implementing a change in the therapeutic bedwould reduce the occurrence of pressure ulcersin this high-risk population

High Risk Patients RequireIntensive Interventions
• This patient is on ECMO with an open chest, IABP, ventilator, multiple vasopressors, inotropes, blood transfusions and is receiving CLRT at 20 degrees every 30 minutes
![Page 17: . “Saving The Skin: pressure ulcer prevention in the ICU” Barbara Logue RN, BSN, CCRN Cynthia Copeland RN, BSN, CCRN Cardiothoracic ICU (56ICU) Barnes-Jewish.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032522/56649d6e5503460f94a4ec31/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Total Care Sport with Continuous Lateral Rotation Therapy ( CLRT)
• Comparable hospitals use low air loss mattress with CLRT with success ECMO
patients on Total
Care Sport

Implementing Guidelines Specific to ECMO Population
• Operating room support• New roles for secretaries, ICU technicians and charge
nurses• ECMO patients placed on Total Care Sport with (CLRT) • In-services provided for all 56ICU staff by Hill-Rom
staff and by skin care liaisons

Depending on patient tolerance, beds are programmed to rotate every 30
minutes 10-30 degrees

Acknowledgments• We thank the OR and 56ICU staff for their tremendous
efforts which led to our positive results.• We would also like to thank the Greater St Louis Chapter
of the AACN, especially Dawn Held who made this all possible.
