There is currently a lack of awareness among nurses and assistive personnel on the need for effective turning for offloading pressure, not just frequency of turn, contributing to increased incidence of HAPI.  Current strategies (pillows and wedges) may not achieve the desired degree of turn.  This webinar will discuss the current state of the science related to turn and positioning devices. Evidence related to components included in these devices will be presented supporting the use of a multi-pronged approached for effective turning and pressure injury reduction. This webinar will raise awareness of current turn practices and the need for improvement to meet patient needs and reduce HAPI. The use of systems that address most extrinsic risk factors for pressure injury can be an effective strategy to reduce pressure injuries for immobile patients. 

Today’s episode brings back our newest co-host Dr. Joyce Black. Dr. Black starts with her mailbox and then Martin Burns joins the conversation. Martin is the CEO of Bruin Biometrics and joins Dr. Black to talk about the role of industry in pressure injury prevention. Martin is a member of the NPIAP in an industry role as the chairman of the Corporate Advisory Council within the organization. This discussion will address what it’s like from the industry perspective when working with clinicians. They also discuss how industry helps with researching new technologies in patient care. Martin ends the episode with advice on how clinicians can work with industry when they come to the clinic to sell their products. We hope you enjoy this episode with Martin Burns and Bruin Biometrics!

Pressure injury is one of the most prevalent secondary complications in people with spinal cord injury (SCI). In this webinar, Dr. Tzen will review the current evidence in research on pressure injury development in the population with SCI, including the latest findings on intrinsic risk factors of pressure injury, currently available risk assessment scale for this population, and the research behind selection of preventative strategies.

This episode has a return host and a return guest! Dr. Joyce Black and Dr. Susan Solmos are chatting again, this time about facial pressure injuries as a result of medical devices. Dr. Solmos worked with Professor Amit Gefen from Tel Aviv University on a study performed from January of 2016 to October of 2022 on evaluating the stiffness of the plastic on facial medical devices. Drs. Black and Solmos discuss the findings of the study and how it impacts nurses today in their care of critically ill patients. We hope you enjoy it
