The operating room (OR) is a high-risk environment for hospital-acquired pressure injuries (HAPIs) due to prolonged immobility and positioning on hard surfaces during surgery. To mitigate this, a clinician developed and implemented a risk assessment tool and a prevention bundle, including prophylactic dressings, for high-risk perioperative patients. This webinar discusses the potential for pressure injury development during OR procedures and how to implement strategies to limit risk.
1. Describe the risks of HAPIs in the operating room
2. List strategies for pressure injury prevention in the OR arena
3. Discuss risk assessment tools and prevention bundles
